EMS Lounges

At two of our Regional hospitals we have little rooms with a little room with a desk, couple of chairs, phone and a couch. The rooms are provided by the hospital but furnished by the Service. Our third hospital doesn't have a reporting room but is in the middle of a massive reno and addition which will see one added in the new ED.

No snacks or anything are provided. That just seems like an odd concept to me. We have gotten a box of cookies at Christmas and EMS week from the cath lab, but they sent one to each station. Besides, if I want to relax, that's what the station is for.

Mainly for the poor :censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored:s stuck posting on street corners. Makes me glad at my current service and the one before that we ran out of stations. Granted there are some days we only see the station when we clock in and when we shut the truck down at the end of the shift...
And why I'm happy almost all the places I'm applying don't do SSM
 
I know the feeling. With how bad offload delay was getting we'd spend so much time at the Hospital or on standby at other station, or on really bad days, street corners I'd rarely see my home station. Now offload has gotten a lot better and we spend more time in our coverage area or at least our district. Of course my station is incredibly busy and actually being at base means we have to cover all our own calls, which means I still don't see my couch all that often.
 
All of the hospitals except one used to provide us with free drinks, snacks, sandwiches, etc. That is of course, until the only hospital that wasn't went to the news and the county board of supervisors to accuse the other hospitals of bribing us to transport patients to their facility. Now every hospital except 2 took away the food to avoid all the scrutiny.

Pretty ridiculous if you ask me...

And transports to the hospital that complained to the county dropped 50%....
