Sell*

Most privately owned companies are actually owned by private investment firms that look to tell companies when they are doing poorly to relief financial stress. Since these private investment firms merely provide the capital they allow the companies management to stay intact. The owner is still...

They don't have the chance to say no, all the books are public record, we just take a quick look at them and say hell no. I can list 4 companies in the LA area that have begged for a buyout and we just laugh at them. East Los angeles counties 911 provider has been trying to sell for ever haha

AmeriCare is looking to hire a lot of EMTs due to the fact that they just picked up the 911 contract for the city of Santa Monica. But be careful, very shady company, the only reason AMR couldn't grab the contract is cuz AmeriCare is known for giving "kick backs" to city counsel members and...

I just put both in. In case the patient should suddenly regain a gag reflex I just pull the opa out and I don't have to worry about interrupting patient care to size and insert an NPA. BLS adjuncts are just as good as any ALS adjunct out there

Orange County needs an Orange County Expanded scope plus a california EMT card. both can be had at the OCEMS office its off of 6th I believe, parkings like 6 bucks and its suite 201 if im not mistaken. a lot of OC companies are also Continuing education providers so a lot of them offer the...

real medicine takes place in a hospital not on the field. And i'm an EMT, i have a lot of friends thats are medics, and i know nothing i have ever done, or anything a medic has ever done can replace hospital based medicine. EMS should have about providing BASIC live saving interventions and then...

medicine is in fact more important than oxygen and diesel, wasting time with statistically useless paramedical treatments is in fact, not. PARA from the latin root meaning "NEAR" medicine is self explanitory NEAR medicine, but not medicine. im not trying to beef up being an EMT-B either, im...

i am not that kind of person, i merely like setting up a good debate. this is never done at work, or when patients are involved because i do understand fluid work enviroment will do better for my patient than any ems interventions. thats fine, but i do like questioning the norm because there is...

im only trying to have a good conversation, its only a debate. last i looked this is a place to where EMT and EMT-P can talk about things, haha, im not trying to make anyone mad, just trying to give the otherside of the opinion. I have already said i am biased to LACo medics, i have not worked...

those treatments seem like they are from a county that lets you do something, let us not forget we were arguing LA County, the original poster of this thread was referring to LA county. CPAP is an amazing thing, but remember that oxygen powered, flow restricted ventilations devices are in a...

yes, paramedics cant do anything here, which may lead to my biased opinion, but again, working in a system like this i can see that the people that might need medics in other more advanced counties, are probably gone anyways...i've seen medics here mess things up quite horribly, and I have...

negative, the fact that what we do should not be undermined by potentially burnt out employees. yes neurologically intact discharge is a requirement for commendation in our operation.

no need to bother a doctor, i'll just give my orders like i'm supposed to

this is true, we do run 98 percent bull:censored::censored::censored::censored:, but when you get a cardiac save pin or a commendation, or a letter from family thanking you for what you did, it makes it all worth it. Compared to all other non 911 companies, we are bad ***, think about it...

Again, it's always better to assume the worst than under treat. Although my examples do not happen often, they do happen, and you never know, 15 seconds could mean the difference between life and death. I've personally seen a difference of up to 3 mintues in responding code and responding code...

My apologies, I assumed we were talking about the Los Angeles county division. What division are you? Representing North Los Angeles County ops! Lol Antelope Valley station 106

If you are hired on as part time at AMR you get to choose what days you work and u can work as many hours as you please so long as the overtime is available and your able to do so. Usually they don't hire as part time first, in la county AMR will hire you full time and give you the option of...

Umm, who are you? Lol Okay...here we go The point of code 3 response is to get to whatever is happening right? Alright, so for example (and this is very common down in the AV since Fire Station 33 is the busiest in LA County): Code 3 for a cardiac that just so happens to be down the...

Care is wack lol, last I heard they are only allowed to respond code 2 to all 911 calls unless FD specifically requests code 3 upgrade. Care is weak sauce. They got all mods though, which is nice and roomy and is great for the occasional full arrest where u need all the space you can get
