Well I've been working as a medic for about 3 months now and the way my dept. works is you go through a 3 week orientation then get assigned to a rescue car. And you have to be on the rescue for about 6 months then you can go to the engine as the paramedic by yourself. Now they put you on the resue with a senior medic for that time to boost your experience level. Heres the problem, im stationed in a very low income area where the residents dial 911 for just about anything and everything. We probably run a true ALS call maybe once a month if I get lucky. I'm starting to get frustrated with the constant BLS calls, I know its part of the job but how am I supposed to get any experience with critical patients if 99% of the calls are not even worthy of a BLS unit. I do alot of studying but theres only so much you can get from a book.
Any comments or suggestions??
