Does anybody know of any overseas volunteer/disaster relief opportunities for EMTs? Has anybody been overseas and have any experiences?

Im doing premed right now as well, in a similar situation. Good luck

What are your career plans if you don't mind me asking?

Id recommend doing telemetry, a bunch of cool stuff you get to see in the ICU/PCU. You basically get a foot in the door at the hospital. I work telemetry and managed to get a job in the ER as a tech because I just got my AEMT. Wheel chair van driving won't give you much experience in doing medic...

I am doing pre-med full time and working night shift full time as well. You won't have much time to do stuff, so say goodbye to sleep.

I know of many fire departments in Oregon that are hiring EMS only Medics. You should look around.

Move out of California. Problem solved.

Damn, I would never want to move to the east coast though.

The hospital is very aware of this situation. We get that stare from the RNs whenever I come through the door with him. He goes to the ED every, single, day. He only calls the ambulance at 2am, like exactly. During the day he has his daughter drive him to the ED. The hospital has taken numerous...

Damnit...

About $13 in Oregon. $20 for a basic seems a little over the top. I know a lot of places dont even pay medics that well.

Thats when I miss structure fires, Ive made that mistake before lol

If I don't go, the next available paid department gets the call. However, they flat out refuse to respond to that address. So it ends up being another ambulance service (volunteer as well) that is 30 mins away from the scene who gets the call. I feel bad for those volunteers.

Thats exactly what we do, but here is the catch. I don't get paid a penny to wake up at 2am to go pick him up.

Social workers have been working with this gentleman for years now, but he is very uncooperative. I am pretty sure the daughter of the pt (who lives with the pt) is taking advantage and smuggling some of the scripts. The daughter is usually sleeping in the next room when we come to his house...

This guy calls 911 for the same reason every time, exactly around 2am. He says he is in "pain." His vitals are always normal and is completely ambulatory. Ends up getting discharged 45 mins after getting to the ED

I'm sure that every agency has them, your frequent fliers who call almost everyday. Anyway, we have a gentleman that calls 911 for "chronic back pain." He does have a extensive medical history, and without a doubt he is in pain. But his docs won't prescribe him any pain meds or what he likes to...

The AEMT exam was a joke, it was just like the basic exam. Same old stupid scenario based questions. I really don't know what you are doing wrong.

SA was a great place, great night life and bunch of Air Force chicks...The 6 months I was stationed there was the best time of my life
