This doesn't sound like "real EMTing and being in the field." Rest assured, there are far better options out there. Money generally does not feed the sense of self fulfillment many providers seek with this job, whether they realize it or not.Horrible taste of real EMTing and being in the field.

And so it begins...So Ive been here about two weeks this Friday. Place is horrible. Moral is so low. Money is ok but they lie to us about the amount we're supposed to make. Dispatch is having a high turnover ratio right now. Other EMTS are getting ran into the ground testing the 8 calls in 12 hours NOT KNOWING THEIR NOT GETTING PAID per CALL yet!! Still no uniforms, Management stinks. From the Ops supervisors to the dispatch Supervisor. They all BLOW. This place uses and ABUSES its employees and yes, I agree, they care more about the stupid app than patient care. this UBER style Ambulnz transporting. I put my two weeks in this morning. Horrible taste of real EMTing and being in the field.
Welcome to LA?..... all your dialysis companys are just like that. NOTHING has changed all these companies got was a new backing investor and a few changes of hands to back the feds off for a while. You can paint a pinto a new color but its still a pinto.So Ive been here about two weeks this Friday. Place is horrible. Moral is so low.

Well in LA city dialysis is all that is known about EMS lol. Maybe these folks need to take a look at this list for LA county if they want a smudge of "real" ems. This is as close as you may know vs moving out of the area to better systems.
Yes, definitely remarkable how after decades upon decades, you could still watch an episode of "Emergency!", see "Mayfair" ambulance scoop them, and their patient up, and know much still hasn't changed there either.
Well look how long it took for emts in LA to officially get to use pulse ox! The board last year was presented with emts being allowed to do sugars that was canned fast because they compared it to OC on how many emts actually use it which was very low and again I wonder why? Well OCFA runs the show while the care bears stand around waiting to lift and push. So ocfa takes the sugar where as the emts might as well be wearing black little caps. For heavens sake your not allowed to pace in LA county as a private medic unless you pay the county annually and have a seperate certification! Was that not covered in Paramedic school!?! LOL.
Lol, I wouldn't go so far as to say that. A very good friend of mine was one my first BLS partners, and I learned so much from him in regards to skills,patient care, demeanor, and bed-side manner. I also knew plenty of "lifers" who are still EMT's there; good ones at that.
, but for me it still holds a piece of me, and was where I began my EMS career. I can't hate on all of it, I laugh at most of it, sure, but perhaps some just aren't afforded the luxury of relocation, however, if they are offered the chance to relocate by all means, do it.
Fair enough, so long as you're fully aware that those type of people (not just EMT's) are EVERYWHERE...and I do mean EVERYWHERE.
