That's when I came into Grady about 2 years ago I know paramedic was 20$ not sure about emt, they have been doing layoffs because of the Medicare thing that's been going around. And hiring people back but at a low pay scale. So a lot of people left because they didn't know if their job was...

Yeah Grady did as well but we couldn't come up with an agreement. I worked part time with AMR for a while. But I had to get out it wasn't my cup of tea you were practically fires mule and nothing more.

Oh wow at least your not alone, I felt like if a big accident were to happen the news would be in the topic on why we were running L&S for a stubbed toe. But i heard it was in the Dekalb county contract and that contract is very interesting.

Yeah it's not fun to tech every call, I bet people will burn out more quickly. And also if your looking into AMR they run every call with lights and sirens. Splinter in your leg, you get lights and sirens. I don't know any other place in Georgia that does that. It's kinda ridiculous.

One thing about amr in Dekalb for EMT's you will just be a driver for 911, you won't run any calls. I really feel sorry for those people, and the medics as well.

Oh wow sorry about that info I came to Georgia as a paramedic so I had no clue about the emt difference.

For the Atlanta area I know for grady its 20$ for paramedic and I think around 16$ for emt, they also do shift differentials.

I've been looking to relocate to Massachusetts for a new experience, and after looking around I learned about umass. From the looks of it, it looks like a great organization. If anyone works there I have a coupe of questions. What are the minimum qualifications for the paramedic gig? When do...

I'm used to working double medic trucks and I do enjoy it because were are both on the same level. I have no problem runnin back to back calls, I'm not a big fan of just sitting there for long hours. I guess it must be coming from where I work at we run back to back and you better either pray to...

Not a problem with me, I'm more of a fishing kind of person.

I'm looking to move up there for a change in scenery. I always wanted to go up to the northeast. I had my time in the west cost and in the south and I feel like ill get a better education up there. Also I've been looking at Worcester ems I don't know if you guys know anything about them. I just...

Yeah I understood that with Boston as it said that you have to be a resident at the time of the academy within 6 months. My goal was to apply and make sure I had the job before I went up there. I'm not the type person to just move and then look for a job.

Been looking to relocate for a while from georgia. I've been a paramedic for about 3 years and looking into boston EMS. I did a lot of research on it and I see that everyone starts off being an emt. And for applying, can I put in my application with my Massachusetts emt-p license ( when I get...

Neglect never crossed my mind, with the whole crowd around it looked like she was well liked they were all yelling asking if she was okay and that she felt cold, it was a low income apartment complex and not many have access to the best heath care. But I know she did go to the doctor because of...

You are absolutely right in trying narcan, I was thinking drug overdose in some sort I was looking for the pinpoint pupils and saw nothing but hey it's worth a shot, after the d50 she was able to take more deeper breaths than the shallow ones she was taking, but still the same gcs of 5 and no...

and yes the hypoglycemia did catch me off guard. Will make a very interesting case study , ill try all that I can do to get something from the hospital. All the doctor told me was they were just trying to narrow the complex.

I wasn't able to get the time frame of when she fell in the shower due to the family screaming, crying, and acting hostile. trust me I tried to get as much information as I could.

But lets just say her only medical hx was just the leg trauma, how would sepsis make you hyperkalemic?

I know what you mean, i bet she had a lot more medical problems, also I forgot to add she was rather skinny, and no other signs of obvious trauma besides the leg.

Yeah sepsis came to my mind as well, it was just the story from the family saying she was normal today or 10 minutes ago that had me thinking it was something acute, but hey they could be lying. But also wouldn't she be hot, and diaphoetic if it were sepsis?. And about metabolic acidosis I read...
