Well

[Fedmedic]

Well, I guess I'll introduce myself as well. I have made several post already, but I am still new to this site. I joined yesterday after a couple of friends of mine told me about it. Anyway, I'm a paramedic and work for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, I have been involved in medicine, whether in the hospital or on the truck, for approximately 15 years. If there's anything else you'd like to know just ask. Oh yeah, Hello all!!

I am a NREMT-Paramedic, my jobs are the same as on the streets in an ambulance. With the addition of we do more clinical things as well, we function more like a PA. We give antibiotics, insulin, treat patients like they were in a MD's office or ER. We're in the process of working on a suture protocol, then we will be suturing. Basically an emergency trained PA.

My signature= That is what I tell the inmates when they come to medical complaining about some BS issue, "Cowboy up and call me when it is a real emergency."

 

[Jon]

Cool... do you guys have any "tactical" duties to assist/back up the prison guards?

 

[jeepmedic]

We are Officers First. Our job is a paramedic but we are Officers first. Anyone who works for the BOP is an Officer.

 

[Jon]

Fun fun fun.

I looked at a posting in PA for an "EMT", but by the listed skill set, I'd need to be an EMT-P. Bummer.

You are still young get your medic and apply. I still think it beats riding a truck. I miss the calls but my back and legs sure don't miss the lifting, and jumping in and out of the truck.
