They cited a law that was just a suggestive safety protocol, which was to mitigate exposures as much as possible by removing patients from enclosed spaces when possible(“when” not every time) These guys hopefully will loose their job There has been a lot of talk in my fire station about how...

Well in cali we can’t test(2 tests a week)out of booster mandates like all the other populations required to get the booster from my understanding of our tyrant leader. Seems like ******** weather you agree or not on to get the booster.

So I just got an indeed notification: Falck is offering 20k sign on bonus now And pay starting between 26-52$/hr @MEDicJohn sorry for correcting you looks like I was wrong.

The latest speaking with several of them, experienced medics started at 28$/hr and 12k sign on bonus paid out over 3 years, (300$ a paycheck if I remember the math correctly)

We don’t have steroids in my protocols

Thanks for all the responses, I’ll try to answer all questions: Unfortunately that’s all the signs symptoms and info I have. I wasn’t hands on with the patient was kind of a hypothetical between me and my wife. No vitals no lung sounds ect. yes of course Benadryl 100000% no brainer there...

I’m gonna keep this simple 2 year old male -Itchy -obvious hives to back, abdomen, chest -Significant facial redness from chin to nose circling the mouth. (Think gnarly sunburn) not just mildly pink -No swelling to lips or tongue -No sob, wheezing, drooling This can very on county protocols...

I can tell you first hand, that Chula Vista ambulances and mercy are both running very frequently into falcks area, and that they are short staffed on a considerable number of their units. Chula Vista medics are pissed as they’re getting pulled in frequently and their city is busy as is Also...

Orange County, not sure if still the same for diversion was, call each hospital once you got diverted to the third furthest you could go to the original closest appropriate receiving. I do like the idea of a controller, especially maybe someone working for the Lemsis that is not associated...

well that's a relief ok to me to run calls in the hospital i'd tell them to quite frankly piss off, with the exceptions of something like cct to another hospital. thats garbage, higher qualified people in there and they have gurneys they use to transport people to and from units. yeah we had...

i was flabbergasted when i did a short stint in santa barbara county and never once did i hold a wall, having come from working a over a decade in la and orange county. ive spent a literal entire 12.5hr shift holding the wall with a patient in la county at good ol st francis The whole its only...

I freaking love etco2, I use that **** on everything, well almost everything. I think intubating is an easy skill in the classroom it’s when someone has a **** airway that makes it a difficult skill plus add the stress of the call itself.

I think along with agreeing with @DrParasite we slowly are losing everything, especially in California. I think more formal education and training is what’s the fix not taking away potentially life saving interventions. Hell San Diego county doesn’t even have mag… and icema(San Bernardino)...

never once said nurses are stupid, but they operate very differently and use different equipment that they may not be well versed in, same with medications. It’s not that I don’t think nurses can be intelligent, there’s just a lot of differences. Your ortho floor is a perfect example of what I’m...

Use PulsePoint all the time when I’m sitting in station wondering where the f everyone is at, and I’m too lazy to walk out and check the mdc As stated I’ve also gotten alerts way before officially being toned out, especially veg fires, dispatch takes 6+ minutes at times to full dispatch it mean...

1000000% agree, if I don’t understand something I ask my wife, wealth of knowledge or I ask her to ask the Ed physicians she works with for further explanations on certain things. Sometimes she asks me when a medic does something she thinks is inappropriate or why we do things a certain way...

I don’t doubt you, I know most counties are going to lma like igels and not intubating. I would love to have rsi capabilities in my county it’s frustrating at times when I need to wait 20-30 minutes for a bird to have them do it. And that’s fair that’s your opinion my differs but to each...

I don’t think that, my wife’s a nurse she’s beat my *** if I thought that way, but nurses work very differently to medics for the most part, with the exception of nurses who are medics and flight nurses. Nurses here don’t use cpap, and use bipap. I **** you not my partner who is in medic school...

Nurses should not teach paramedics in paramedic school, with the only exception being flight nurses, or nurses who are medics as well. P cards should not be solely obtained to get a fire job (Cali problem) Firefighters should not get first dibs to medic programs especially at community...

Wow that’s even more wild, The disaster response model I get, but to certify to work I a place for a month basically that kind sucks But that payday is going to be epic, they’ll be set for half a year by doing 1 month especially if they pay ot after 40
