You might work for a private if.....

...

...if your equipment is from the Vietnam war surplus
...every week at least half of the rigs are OOS
...the 2 traction splints you have on every rig wouldn't work on anyone taller than 5'5
...you look at other companies gear and pray they don't look at yours in disdain
...you still write your pcs' on paper and the supply of gel pens (the only kind that work on the back of our sheets) in each truck disappeared in under a week

If you're instructed to drive past a car accident with people waving you down to continue enroute to your dialysis call, without a patient mind you.

That's ridiculous, complete failure of duty to act.....
 
... If, after a complaint by a CNA at a SNF, the owner of the company fires a crew via radio. ;)
 
It's company policy that if any damage occurs to a rig during your shift, it's automatic termination. Whether your fault or not.
 
Your terminated because a nurse said you stole a box of gloves from an ER with permission from another nurse.
 
When a homeless man's sleeping bag looks better than your station.

When an old sheet doubles as a shower curtain.

When you've worked so much overtime that the hairy leftovers in a 1930's fridge that barely keeps things cold, starts to look good.

When banging a TV to get a channel to come in, doesn't seem abnormal.

When you station has that funny basement odor.
 
P.S.
When you pray for a grunt run so you don't have to see that stupid *** engine company one more time.. Ya know that type I'm talking about.

Give her a nebulizer cause we all know Albuteral cures everything. -_-:wacko::unsure::glare:

So you get to keep the Ambulance or do they expect you to drive it back?

I believe the crew dropped it off, but I don't remember. I do remember being aghast when I heard it.
 
I wouldnt have been so kind. Ambulance parked on the freeway anyone? Just kidding ;)
 
You know you work for a private when... Your rig falls apart during a shift. No joke. The 2-way didn't work, so I took it apart and fixed the wiring. The siren? Malfunctioning.. The light bar fell off... FELL OFF. So while screwing it back on, standing on the door... The door FELL OFF. Theres coolant pouring on the ground. The oil hasn't been changed in 20,000 miles! The check engine light is on, as well as the ABS light. The 02 valve on the rig no longer functions and has to be shut off at the tank between calls. And to sum up the day? The brakes failed... And guess what.. That rig is still in service for the on coming shift.
