the 100% directionless thread

So, I have to wonder...


If the insurance mandate holds true, and come 2014 where most of our patients will have some form of payable insurance... as opposed to just 1/3 of patients paying now...


Will I see a 2-3x increase in salary? :ph34r:

Yes. I have to do all my CE in Colorado since I spend most of my time there but work in Massachusetts. I've sent in three semester college courses, a 5 hour conference, 20 hours of EMT-B skills testing, 2 hour cardiac arrest management course, and a 22 hour IV therapy class and I have received 7 hours of credit. And they won't even tell me what I need to do next, despite a call every day!

Depends. Will insurance cover more than a fraction of a cost?
If everyone has insurance, than will they feel more entitled to ambulance transport? After all, they're already paying for insurance, why not use it?

Not if insurance companies keep doing their tactic of forcing agencies to contract with them for more "fair" pricing... or withholding funding altogether.
 
Reading some of the older threads where everything ended in a fight (these threads usually involved Rid and Vent, interestingly enough). Now I am all worked up. :ph34r:

Hey, Mods... sure that you won't allow for deletion of posts? 'Cause some of my posts were idiotic and biased. Then again, some were genius... :cool:

I miss both of them. We need them here and here now. People have gotten soft with no one to call them out for idiotic posts.

I'm not allowed to call you an idiot as my method always lead to involuntary vacation. So sorry guess we're stuck with idiots idiotic posts not being called out.
 
First call of the day, 5 mins after we clock in is a full arrest, called DOA. This is probably going to be a long shift. Plus we are in overload warning.

Except gotta love incentives to pick up shifts. Getting paid 24 hours of double time tomorrow for a 12 hour shift.
 
Had to call EMS for my second passenger OD on the aircraft in less than 2 months. I'll be the first to admit that the current flying experience is less than ideal but do these people really need to down an entire bottle of pills to get through a 45 minute flight?
 
I hate it when threads get locked before I can post...

Maybe it's the crew on the plane, since that's the only thing the two passengers would have in common. :rofl:

Considering you were the first one that responded in that thread, I fixed that for ya.

I know and appreciate that you and several members tried to be helpful. Unfortunately, it wasn't going to end that way so rather than give "involuntary vacations" as medic417 put it, I chose to close the thread.
