About to drop an app with the one non fire based service I know of back home. Really want this to work, I don't want to transfer to the new AMR out there and be stuck doing transfers all day....Or work for AMR.

Meh where I'm at you could certainly do a lot worse than AMR. Granted we're not a transfer op.

We are basically bottom of the pay scale here, but this area also has a very high bar for pay. I don't necessarily mind transfers, but dispatch, at least the dude on my days, has a habit of often doing stupid stuff with us when our 911's blow up (send us and another ALS truck for a BLS transfer when we only have 2 ALS trucks left from a sudden string of 911's, only to tell me "well we are behind and I can do it" when I call and ask what he is doing). Throw in the lowest bidder equipment changes lately and yea, kinda looking forward to a new place.

That being said, I absolutely love working with who I am currently scheduled with tomorrow, so I am still happy to go when I am working with good people. Luckily that is most days.

Back in El Paso after a long travel day. CALEMT, y'all were busy early this afternoon in Moreno Valley, I saw three AMR crews responding in five minutes.

Just happened upon something from late last year...

The National EMS Advisory Council Submitted on December 2, 2016 Committee: Innovative Practices of the EMS Workforce Title: Changing the Nomenclature of Emergency Medical Services is Necessary...[etc. etc.]

FICEMS and the DOT should officially recognize and use “paramedic” as the all-inclusive standard generic term nationally to describe all practitioners performing within the field of paramedicine, regardless of certification or licensure.

Threadworthy? Or have we talked this one to death already?

In the process of scheduling DOSE training for 9 fire departments and our 3 shifts. Makes me want to go back to bed.

Mo Val is Riverside division which I don't work in. Sounds like typical Mo Val though, super busy and super ghetto.

What a busy day. Worked my 16 hour shift, slept all night and woke up at 0615 for a CHFer this morning that got the full meal deal, CPAP and what not. Fixed by the time we arrived at the ED. Its paramagic!

My daughter had her St Patrick Day parade at preschool and I bought a golf cart for the event EMS business today. All in all, a productive day. Beers shortly.

One of the EMS custom golf carts with a stretcher mount? Because if so, you, sir, have great taste in miniaturized vehicles.

You can play golf monster trucks now! Or, you know, even better, cause it has flashing lights?

It's actually just a regular golf cart. You buy the ambulance adapter kit separately. Some assembly required.

@CALEMT As long as it's not just particle board. That stuff gets messy.

Followed up our 8 month old arrest with a 16 year old hanging this morning.

This shift can end anytime now.

I think your black cloud can be measured on the EF scale...

Myself, I'd find someone to cover and head home at that point. Can only handle so much acute stress at once.

Your area have a CR team or someone you can contact? Those groups aren't just there only for the patients and customers, they are there for providers too, that's alot of stress for one person to take in two days

Sounds about right...
