I am seriously the biggest idiot in here, because I try and not reply to you. Your last sentence is pretty far fetched though. The standards are pretty high here, and if you are talking about protocols, well then I do not know because I have not worked for another real 911 system. Ever since my first day our Medical Director has said, "You are expected to be a clinician, not a technician." A little cheesy? Sure, but I found it to be true, and I had to study my *** off in pathophysiology to meet his standards, or I would not have received my credentialing after FTO time. Which is a face-to-face interview with one of the MDs about medical. So to call me (or anyone really) a "little basic" makes you the person no one wants to work with. I promise you no one on here would want to work a shift with you (we know you do not care, I feel bad for you coworkers who have no choice though). My knowledge base has increased a ton from the date I started working here, because of here. Do I know everything? Nope, I am not you, so that would be impossible. Also, I do not "get excited" about much in EMS, nevermind narcan bud. Does that mean I will leave EMS? Who knows. About the interventions, if there is an intervention that NEEDS to be performed it is performed, whether it be critical, or for pain management. We have never rushed off scene once unless it called for it. Being new, I have tried to get the patient in the truck, only for my FTO to say, "Do you have at least 3 differentials yet? Is there anything more we can do?" We stay on scene until we no longer have anything more to go off of. So, that's all I will say about that narrow minded comment.
Lol where do I start here? Do certain people have more titles? Yes, they earned them, they are not noticeable anywhere except for telestaff except for you rank. Patches? We are not allowed to put patches on anything. Our white shirt has the state and department, that's it besides name and badge. Our blue shirt has only department logo and personal name. Does that solve that issue for you? Near living-wage? Like I have said before I live in the city and have plenty of money to do things out of work and go on vacations. Whats wrong with being on a bike, tactical, rescue or a community health team? They tried out for those and earned a spot. They are not just titles, our rescue and tactical always training and tactical is always on calls with SWAT. Rescues come unexpected obviously, but some are deployed to other parts of state due to the severe weather lately. Big rigs? You know everyone here absolutely hates being in our reserve trucks right (the "big rigs"), of course you did. Long hours, we work 48 hours a week. More than likely going to 42s for same pay. Pretty sure that's the norm.
You literally have zero to say about any department. You can have questions and opinions, that's it. But since you think everything that comes out of your mouth is a fact makes you a dbag.
The only thing you should be commenting on is how you can not hold a job for longer than 6 months, is it REALLY because you are looking for a "unicorn" service? Or is it because you alienate yourself from he rest of the company because you are "that guy" everyone wants to throat punch.
How about this? I come to your department for a ride out, more specifically request one with you. I would love to see what a REAL paramedic does. More importantly I would love to see other peoples opinions of you. Hey who knows, maybe we can get through the day and you will blow my mind with your awesomeness and I will praise you and buy you a beer. Or throw my head through a wall. 50/50. 6 years of experience as a medic you have? It would be my honor.
