LACo is pretty much the worst option. Next to OC.

How long can those pay rates last? AMR is not going to want to pay people like that for very long.

Uh oh, new poster who seems strikingly like those who have left in a huff recently.

AO medic programs are a mixed bag. They tend to have high turnover rates, because a lot of depts expect you play the probie role without the pay or benefits of being a Probationary FF. If the position is directly promotable into suppression they tend to be slightly more successful, though force...

Yes if you have list eligibility

I think for TAU they are, two of my friends just got perm 2 Medic offers

When I was in medic school the instructors talked about Woodbury, MN as a place that does this and apparently it's pretty effective.

Ive found its more the med surg types who are that way. ED, ICU, Flight I've always felt mutual respect.

FD's should only be ALS if they can transport. The squad/ALS engine thing with BLS private ambos breed laziness and subpar EMS.

This is the justification for the LA/OC model. ALS first response with BLS transport that a medic can jump on if necessary. So while I agree in principle with you, that has been completely *******ized into what we have in SoCal today.

You're new, but come on man. It really helps to read the whole thread before asking a question or commenting.

LOL. See that Project Veritas logo? Far-right propaganda group. That post should be removed. If you want to go full anti-vax, at least try to use a more reputable source.

That’s no excuse for AMRs constant issues, maybe they wouldn’t have staffing issues if they paid their employees a living wage rather than the bare minimum. So it’s a busy poor area? Great, pay people more and staff enough ambulances, let’s not pretend there’s an EMT shortage in southern CA...

I dont think any of this is a surprise to anyone who's ever been involved with EMS in LA/OC or even most of CA. When these companies brown out units or dont hire because UHU's are too low, then act surprised when they cant respond when volume is higher, what else is going to happen. Not to...

Fire trucks and a pension. Still not working though, when every department in the area is hiring for way more pay and a better retirement.

Firing everyone? Absolutely agree. But this guy is training people. He should be fired.

They called all the neighboring companies and no one had shorter ETAs than AMR.

Im guessing youre in the Antelope Valley? So AMR if you're 911. Get signed off and report his ***. What kind of service is that guy giving new EMTs by encouraging that kind of behavior.

What bike did you get?
