said in true management fashion. I'm placing bets on a secondary company fake account to say this. "hustle and work hard" said no bls dialysis emt ever. Can confirm, McCormick is a solid company to work for and they strive to have their emt's do the best that they can.

That's fairly sketchy.

No, they are saying in a year your gross total will be up to 72k not including benefits. The problem with that is it's extremely cut throat in LA County to pull ift's. It goes to the lowest bidder. Some companies are doing transfers for something like $125 per. and if you and your partner make...

I'm kind of curious. How does it work for 16-17 year old emt's? Does nj not take nr? If I were sick having someone treat me that was in high school still.. I'd be like.. Isn't your nap time coming up?

Pretty much. And I get what he was saying, when I read the topic it sounded like he was saying place the tourniquet on a distal extremity to the injury. I've had a massive migrane the last few days and reading that really threw me off. By the time I actually figured it out I ran out of time to...

http://www.emsworld.com/article/10364651/ems-recap-tourniquets An article to cover tourniquet use in regards to bleeding. I got off subject, my apologies

At least here and in my setting (and this is California.) Our protocols tell us we're not allowed to remove them. On top of that our nearest trauma is over an hour if we can't get an airship. There have been instances even recently where the doctors removed the tourniquet and sent the patient...

When you think about the bodies anatomy, you have veins and arteries going throughout your body to create the closed pressure system. They break down into arterioles and venules which go to capillaries to perfuse tissues. If you cut a closed pressure system fluid (blood) exits through that area...

We're talking about sheer # of calls. Just the sheer # doesn't equate to immediate profit. It's when the insurance company or state pays out. I've run 23 calls in 24 hours. I know people who have run 25+ in the same time period. (We're talking 911. I can count the # of ifts I've ever run in my...

I ran out of time to edit... Anyways, it's hard. My concern is 30 isn't life sustaining. It feels like there's a lot of ways to look at this. I'm glad I came across this.

if it's 30 apical, I'm going to opt for I.V 18 g left AC if possible, with a lock.. I'd give atropine 0.5mg, I'd give morphine for discomfort(going for >60 palpable, since the pvc's are interfering with the monitor) continue monitoring all the way in, document.

It doesn't seem sustainable. This may be working for a few test crews, but in full swing, when costs start to come through, there is foreseeable issues, whether it be now or a year from now.

Out of that 72k maybe they'd be lucky enough to see 55k because of California's wonderful state tax system.

Ah, that's always the sign of a 100% thriving business. When it goes to craigslist, it's not a scam at all, ever. "Make up to 72k, just sign this contract here saying we have your soul for the rest of eternity, 24/7, 365."

It's not feasible in the slightest. Oh well. Just waiting for the strange craigslist adds to start appearing. Hey mann. 100% no scam at all.
