    Falck San Diego Medic arrested on duty

    I read that as well and had questions. Maybe due to proximity to the Mexico border and he was seen as a flight risk. I'm unaware and that is speculation.

    I had a captain that use to say to us. You have to use verbal judo and convince them that this is the correct course of action even if its just delaying them until you have adequate resources to restrain. But yes I agree with CCCSD significant MOI likelihood of an unseen injury is high.

    Falck San Diego Medic arrested on duty

    Pretty sad this guy has made some poor life decisions. It does seem that Falck cant catch a break in this town with them being constantly fined for response times and hours maintained. He is being charged with possession of fentanyl that falck states isn't owned by them and burglary...

    Is riding two 10 hour shifts a week enough to be a good medic?

    There is no timeline to become a good medic. Put in your time and try to make the best of it.

    most companies are doing mandatories at the moment due to lack of staffing and man power obligations. I do believe that Community ambulance is the new provider for south Nevada might be a good look

    Palpating a BP

    I've never heard of getting a diastolic with palpated B/P. I would think that someone is messing with you or just making numbers up.

    Should EMS follow nurse's lead and go on strike?

    You're correct. My IRA grandparents would probably still tell you that they are still fighting to this day though.
