    Too Tall?

    I'm 6'7" and it isn't that bad. Everybody hits their head, we just do it more often :) Plus being a big dude can be handy on calls. It can also be a bit of a curse. If you aren't partnered up with someone at least close to your height, some lifting and moving is a bit of a pain.

    How often do random people talk to you/say thank you?

    Sir, I absolutely love everyone of your posts. Humour or knowledge with you- usually both. And I got a good laugh out of this one.

    How much should EMS providers make?

    In Saskatchewan, Canada here starting out EMT/PCP is ~$25/hour plus shift differential for nights and weekends and Paramedics are ~$32/hour starting. Plus step raises every year and pretty good benefits. Still say we deserve more.

    ... Why does that suck? More education is the answer, not the problem.

    EMTLife Vitals Hall of Fame

    Nope. I'm quite positive it was 39.7. None of us had ever seen. ABG was repeated by the RTs twice. He died shortly after.

    Nope. Not wrong at all. That's part of the reason I don't live in the community I work.
