Yea I work in a OR and we got some shortages as well.

So I should just straight up ask if he can get me a job?

So a family friend gave me the number for the operations manager at AMR in Clackamas, OR. He knows him because he is his step brother or something. He had talked to him at a family event or something along those lines. Anyways he gave me the guys number and said to give him a call. So my...

I never said they were an excuse. I dont know what to tell you brother it sounds like Ft Sam is pumping out crap medics or your in a crap unit does doesnt put a big emphasis on the "why?" of medicine. Our PA held classes 2 or 3 times a week and made tests for us about A&P, pharmacology etc. they...

I dont know know when you went through medic school, but i went through in 2005 and it was the complete opposite. Maybe they have relaxed the standards since then, i dont know. Anyways i wasnt just a "poorly trained emt-b" so thats why i said what i did.

Who says army medics are "poorly trained EMT-b's"?? Thats quite an insult and i hope you have some proof to back it up.

PHTLS is a cert you get by going to a class, it isnt a different level of EMT or anything. Its Pre Hospital Trauma Life Support.

Im pretty sure you need to be a veteran with time in a combat zone to be with Triple Canopy. I looked into it once cause i was a medic in the army but they wanted at least an intermediate. Dont quote me but im 95% sure about it, otherwise i heard its a great company to work for.
