    Impact of 2020 Election on EMS?

    If Trump wins, I hope he sets up those jet fighters to fly over our hospitals again. It was super beneficial. Yay. One last thing. Why aren’t folks investing? We all know EMS pay sucks. Yet many complain and opt to not invest in passive income? Lol

    We have all these resources online now for CEs. Why on earth would you not complete them? ER Tech/Specialist/Care Assistant/EMT are all the same thing. Best of luck.

    Transferring to CARE/McCormick

    I would honestly consider staying at your location, McCormick, or even Emergency (seems pretty relaxed). Care sort of went down hill when 24 hour shifts began running IFT Discharges in some parts of the County. (orange)

    What has been your experience with language barriers?

    Either ask family to translate, or have the translation number on your phone. Will definitely help on avoiding missed strokes/chest pains. Which happens way to often.

    Orange County and SE LA County - Paramedic Private Ambulance

    Exactly. Plus, OCFA screws up sending a patient with Stroke like symptoms BLS a lot of the times. It would just be embarrassing for that same crew to transport out again haha.
