    I'm Suspended.... Or am I?

    It all depends on the company. The company I work for we get an interaction, which is were they "talk" to us about what happened. Then we get written up, it takes 3 writes for the same thing to get suspended. We have the option of signing our write ups and suspensions but you dont have to either...

    Flipped an ambulance

    I was not a fault there was nothing I could have done to have avoided it. It wont effect me being able to drive and I'm not responsible for any damage with the ambulance.

    Flipped an ambulance

    Last night at work I was driving and a lady ran a stop sign and hit the back end of the passenger side box. The driver hit with such force that it broke the back axle and in the end caused the ambulance to flip over onto its side. Both my medic and me where able to climb out, neither one of us...

    How's EMT employment in your neck of the woods?

    Here in Arkansas there are a lot of jobs for both emts and medics more for medics though. I work full time for one company and prn for 2 others, which call me all the time to pick up extra days.

    Fat stigma?

    I have worked with a few people that are over weight and it has never been a problem at all. In fact there have been times I was glad they were there, for one they (meaning the people I have worked with) were able to lift more weight than me (me being 5'9 175 and lean) and some of our trucks...

    Were you nervous when you started?

    yup I was scared out of my mind, I would get so nervous and forget to talk to the patients but I was lucky and had a really good medic that one day stopped doing all the talking so I just started talking.

    What's it like to be an EMT or Paramedic?

    The company I work for we work 48 on 96 off. When I come in I get the radio and ignition keys from the emt getting off, then I check fuel and O2 (The crew getting off will always say "yea your good on fuel and O2" and not be), then I will put up the stock for my medic(so they don't have to), and...

    Patient Belongings

    We get that every once in awhile, but if there is a family member that is there we just give it to them, if not then we hope and pray the nurses do not lose it. The idea to have the staff sign the sheet seems to be a pretty good idea though, are they willing to do it is the question.

    Heavy Lifting Help

    The first thing and one of the important factors of lifting weights that I didn't do in the beginning was protein, and complex carbs rather than simple. Also eating enough (and right foods) to gain muscle mass. You can work out 5 days a week and it go to waste if you do not eat right. Your body...

    Guilty Pleasures

    Aggravating my girlfriend... example: When shes in the shower I go to the kitchen sink wait a few minutes then turn on only the hot water wait 10 secs...*SCREAM*... then run and hide before the wrath of her anger gets me. As she would say never a dull moment.
