My name is Erik and I am an EMT-B in Monterey, CA. I work for a non-emergency gurney transport ambulance company.
This company only gets BLS calls in Monterey county when AMR does not want them and contracts them to us. I have had 1 BLS call so far in 6 weeks. Does anyone else here work for a company like this? Anyone had experiences they can share about non-emergency ambulance runs?
The reason I ask is that I feel like, in some cases, that I only prolong agony and pain for most of my PT's. I feel like I am not really doing much at all here. I have been lurking around these forums for a while now, and a lot of you guys/gals have opinions worth hearing, and most everyone has more experience. I listen to everything with intent to incorporate the positive towards my job. I want to learn. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
