I would suggest looking into life flight in Houston but they are hard to get into. Houston is a great place to start looking because of our huge medical center and top level hospitals
I am working in Houston for the Acadian, trust me, Beumont, TX is the place to be. Orange would be another great place, 20 min from Beaumont and just a few miles from the Texas Louisiana border. Living that close to Lake Charles you could work full time as a ground Paramedic and work as an alternate flight paramedic for Acadians flight service, AirMed, in Lake Charles.
Also consider working on an offshore drilling rig. You'll fly out by helicopter to be stationed for 48 hours or perhaps longer, treat what you can on-scene, and fly the rest back onshore. Pay's good and the job is exciting.
One of our paramedics just left to do exactly that, and I hear he's happy.
I would love to do that. Which company did he go with, if you know
Lol a little bit of a drive for me but I'll see what I can find out. I know my local HEMS agency does a lot of transport to oil rigs through the main branch of their company... But that's about all I know about remote paramedicineI don't recall. But if you drive down to Galveston and poke around at Scholes field, where the rig choppers operate, I'll bet the people hanging around will know.
