What's the fix? Municipal or state HEMS? And reducing the use of HEMS for indications where there is little value added?

Possibly... Look at helicopter use by law enforcement... daily, hours and hours of flying, low and fast in crowded airspace. They have minimal crashes compared to HEMS.

Why is the incidence of these crashes in HEMS so damn high compared to everywhere else?... I believe someone else said it...
Profit based companies that push the limits compounded with the hero complex of the magical flight suit is a recipe for disaster, clearly.

I don't think state agencies vs. private has anything to do with it personally. I mean look at the Maryland State Police. They are fairly good at putting helicopter sized holes in the ground based off their record and they have virtually unlimited funding and all the toys they want. They have had 4 fatal accidents since their inception and continue to pull the wool over the eyes of the taxpayers by saying they need more funding and newer equipment, when in fact poor pilot training and error caused the last fatal accident.

Not mine, unfortunately. The Thanksgiving dinner was at the in-laws, but hopefully soon we’ll have a state-of-the-art kitchen of our own.

Who thinks we should do an EMTLife pool on when the baby is born and the day of the wedding?

Don't think I can. My driver's license still has my Washington address on it and I'm in Idaho... Most places don't like the out of state addresses.

Well they have a lot of rebates going, might be able to find something similar if you have a ****s Sporting Goods nearby. Cabelas/****s tend to have some awesome deals pop up with their specialty models from Savage.

Yea, no idea how that falls in the residency stuff. Seems like a weird grey area.

For long guns you have to be in a touching state. For handguns you have to have a same stste I'd. I've still got my nm dl and I've lived in tx for 2 years so I've had to deal witg that a few times lol

After reading some posts here, some research on my own, and lots of thinking, I am cancelling my flight interview and taking a PT position at a township based paid EMS/Volunteer fire organization (emphasis on EMS). They have a fantastic medical director that I get along with very well, pay is ok but if they came up another 5k I would go there full time.

I wasn't sure how your new move factored in. Couldn't recall when you switched and if you were close to being able to buy in state or not.
