Check out this article from Austin American-Statesman: Autopsy report: Private ambulance company paramedic responsible for Pflugerville man's death...

We’re hiring paramedics and EMTs for full time and part time, rapid starts available. It’s pretty great here now, we’ve got meaningful “cowboy” medicine in comparison to ATC or other bigger systems, great leadership that is very approachable and engaged and the pay scale just got waayyy better...

So, I've been having some silly thoughts lately, and was wondering what sort of EMS they've got in upper New England (VT/CN/MA/RI/NH/ME), particularly with regards to pay, schedule, work/life balance, etc. I'm also curious as to the regional approach to challenges like RSI. Also, same question...

Howdy y’all, I’ve been working on modernizing our protocols from 2002-vintage text walls to 2022, and I’m finally at a finished product. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in taking a glance and sharing feedback. Thanks! And yes, we’re hiring...

So with Cypress Creek shutting down and kicking dozens to the curb, who is hiring in the Houston and SE/Central Texas areas? It’s a bit of a drive, but I know a lot of the counties between Houston and Austin are actively hiring for all levels.

First, some shameless family promotion here. My brother is a financial-services/wealth-management pro who is working on building a client base and helping people. He’s set me up with some interesting retirement, insurance and investment stuff, including disability insurance if I get COVID or...

So here’s a question: What is your opinion of mandatory overtime? We run a 24/48 at my current employer, and like most places, we are understaffed as a routine manner. The pandemic has worsened this, but there’s always overtime we can’t fill anyways. Mandated 24-hour shifts are how we fill them...

https://kfor.com/news/local/four-in-critical-condition-after-ambulance-crashes-into-toll-booth-on-h-e-bailey-turnpike/ I’m going to take a wild guess and suggest that this was a fatigue-induced incident. 1. Jackson County EMS runs 24-hour shifts with holdovers to longer shifts. When I...

So I know it’s a tender moment with the economy shutting down and everything, but here’s a question: at what point does the hazardous pay discussion need to be had, both for EMS and the healthcare industry? We’ve got massive shortages of critical equipment. We’re all working, or soon to be...

If one were choosing between Fresno and Bakersfield, where would a better and more livable place be? Predicated on around 60k a year as a FT medic working 4-5 days a week.

So, I haven’t intubated a real human in six months, and I have to fight to keep an appropriate 911 mindset in my desolate wheelchair kingdom. I’ve played with Fred a fair bit, and I still remember how to intubate, but I feel like I’ve lost the edge and a lot of the blade of my skills. Can...

I see that Sonoma Life Support is contracted out to AMR and that AMR has some operations in Napa, Stanislaus, etc, but I have questions. I know Falck is Alameda County, but what is Verihealth/Falck Petaluma? Did they take the 911 contract for Medocino County/Ukiah, or is it that Medstar...

So as I contemplate a possible CA move, I have a question: I see a lot of folks on the forum seem to intubate fairly frequently (more than I do at least) but not necessarily with traditional RSI protocols. This led me to a follow-on question: how are y’all managing unresponsive, obtunded and...

So how does EMS work there? I know Kern = Hall/Liberty, Kings County = Fresno/American, and that Merced has Riggs, but what about the rest of the state? Who covers what, and how are they to work for? How is it to live, work, go to school there? How is cost of living, schedule, expectations...

So, I drive a little red Ford Focus. It’s great on gas, sporty and does everything an urban American needs it to do. With that being said, I also frequently move my bike, currently using a strap-on mount by Allen. This isn’t the best solution as the metal clips of the mount pull on the sheet...

How are things in the top-right corner of the CONUS? My old partner moved to MA and loves it, has us considering New England. Vermont, New Hampshire, MA, etc.

FIELD OPERATIONS SUPV - AMB OPERATIONS http://www.indeed.com/viewjob?from=appshareios&jk=562a204c886e28cf Saw this intriguing opportunity pop up. Looked into them years ago, but how are they now? How is their pay, deployment, ops, etc?

How important are shoulder straps on the cot to you? For me, they’re important both as *the* critical piece of the cot’s restraint system and as a tell of the company’s overall safety culture. If they’re absent, they’re probably not too concerned about safety. And yes, my current employer...
