I was told to stay north of the Century Fwy (105) and apparently I hear it was good advice ....

South of the 605 and you won't, for the most part, be in LA County until you get past the 5 (the one row of cities in that area that is LaCO isn't too bad).
 
Is AMR in the LA Area? I can't remember, my buddy says he used to work over in the la county, but has since transfered to Ventura County.

I'm glad the BLS Company I work for has most of their ducks in a row. You can't beat fully stocked rigs, and the Stryker PowerPro Hydraulic Gurneys don't hurt either!

AMR in this county drools over them, ahahaha

Believe this or not but majority of EMS company are the all the same. Yes some company do cut corners but majority of them do not as it's not worth the lawsuit when something goes wrong.
 
Man, and to think I almost took a couple job offers in the area. I'm so thankful (and lucky) to have found unemployment in the Central Valley. I honestly couldn't imagine doing IFT's an entire shift, especially under bad company circumstances (whatever they may be).

I'll keep the L.A. area to a day vacation type thing, I think I'm over wanting to live there, haha.

To be young and idealistic.
 
I'm lucky, the only IFT/transfer I've had in the last month was critical and from one trauma center to the nearest higher leveled trauma center.

That's the extent of transfers we have to do.

Jealousy Ensews,

and looker, im starting to think you own one of those shady IFT companies :-)

gosh i wish i can get out of LA CO/Orange CO to do EMS, Hall ambulance was hiring but they wanted me to relocate closer to bakersfield (i cant right now)
 
I might go to Hall after Medic school, I grew up in Bakersfield. I live north of there now.

I don't know though, if you're stationed metro at Hall on a 24 hour car you'll run pretty much near non stop according to my recent refresher instructor who was Management there. Busy is good, but you don't want to burn out fast.
 
Hall doesn't have 24hr cars in Bakersfield. All 12hr cars in the city, the 24 hr stations are in Arvin, shafter, tehachipi, pine mtn, Lamont, and mohave desert. (sorry for the mispelled cities)

Ya we only do stable IFT's here during certain day time hours, when resources are above a minimum level and as long as coverage can be maintained. The conditions are so restrictive that most facilities just suck it up and call the private stretcher-taxi services. (Stable IFT is a separate industry; a poorly regulated one at that) A transfer could be sent to us and then be held for 24 hours when call volume spikes. The only reason they still ask us to do them, is that we don't bill for services like the privates do.

The only transfers we do regularly are one's that actually require a Paramedic to monitor, not just a bed. Usually these are post PCI Pt.'s getting repatriated to their home hospital.

Of course we still do emerg transfers and CCT with escort team (when the provincial CCT service isn't available), but not too much of the taxi driver duties.
