scrubs Me Too. The hospital I work for allows us to wear scrubs while working. I prefer to wear the BDUs due to all the crap I keep in my pockets, but the hospital supplies us with them too. When I'm in the hospital or on the rigs, I wear the scrub top and the bdus. I get free boots from the...

lol, that's funny.

Hi everyone, long time no talk. It's been a while since I visited this site and I wanted to pop in and say hi to everyone. Looking around I saw some things that kind of bothered me, personal attacks, threats of lawsuits and people arguing over treatment of pts. This site is a great place for...

helicopters I work for a hospital that runs 2 helo's for the county. We actually staff a flight medic on a police based helicopter. The pilots are police officers and we respond to all police type missions and all requests for medivacs. We are the only ems agency in the area that can preform...

good luck and relax. I've sat for the last 3 years doing the interviews for the medic program that I teach with. Definetly treat it as a job interview, dress well, be on time and make eye contact. Be confident but not cocky and sell your strong points. If you know your bad in math, mention...

The a- stars are single engine and the MD's are twin. The number of engins oesn't mean anything to me on how I do my job, I'm in the back with the pt's, the pilot's up front getting us from point A to point B in one piece. *Flight-LP, funny you should say the 145 is a glorified BK. Before...

Yeah, we run out of 2 A-stars and 2 MD 902. they just purchased a EC145 and that should be up in the mix in October. P.S I hate the A stars. No room at all to do anything for your pt.

It was right in front of Forest Labs, Daly Rd and Commack Rd

well I suck at adding pics, but whatever, it's there. I'm flying again tomorrow night, so maybe I'll get more pics. Here is a shot of our helicopter after a pin job

so last week when I was working my aviation shift, we were called for a police officer that was struck by a car while directing traffic. witnesses on scene stated + LOC for approx 30 seconds. we were in the area looking for a lost girl at the beach about 2 min away, so when we were called to...
