I always feel so weird calling 911 at work.

... and you do this, why?

 

[adamjh3]

... and you do this, why?

Calls beyond our scope of practice/education. Only had to do it twice, including tonight.

 

[MrBrown]

Interesting, we can request an Intensive Care Paramedic via our MDT or verbally (called R50) on the radio.

While I imagine San Diego county is similar, in Orange County, CA (one county North), if an IFT crew needed paramedics, the procedure was to have them dispatched through the 911 system. In Orange County, at least, this was specifically due to only the fire departments providing paramedic service.

Edit:

Hypothetically speaking, how would that work if your service doesn't provide ICP coverage?

I wish we could. We're a private company. Our MDT's don't work, and our dispatch is run through Nextels, it's faster and easier for us to just call directly and give the info directly to the responding service without playing the telephone game through our dispatch.

Or you could just have Brown on your vehicle, and we can troll for hot chicks at UCSD in our spare time

You can drive.

Lost 25 pounds in 3 months.

working every day makes you eat and spend less. My weight loss is attributable to 15 hour days and a reduction of calories.

Now if i could find healthy fast food....
