Kelly, Good to see you on here. Hopefully, It will work out for you. I actually called HR the other day for Medic and got a few answers. They said base for a paramedic is ~34-37K. They also said that you have the same partner every shift and they do posting around town rather than assigned...

Sorry to resurrect an older thread but I didn't want to start a new one for the same questions. I am potentially moving to Charlotte/Mecklenburg soon and am looking at Medic for possible employment. Does anyone have any pros or cons to add for this company? By the time I move, I will have...

Honestly, I am not sure. If you want, PM me and Ill give you a contact number for their Savannah office.

Mini Phantom is a good light. I have used them before. Check out the flash back shield from Galls. Major improvement in glare reduction when responding at night. Be safe!!

In VA, Red -OR- Red and White. I used to volly when I lived there and that's what we used. Please take into consideration safety and courtesy for installing POV lights. This is much more important than the "cool factor".

Been there too, sort of. I charged CL1 before it was completely pulled out at a car fire. I also saw an overly excited Bat. Chief charge an entire hose bed of 2 1/2. That was fun.

1) I once tripped over the 12 lead cable while getting out the back to go drive. This successfully ripped most of the leads off the pts chest, along with a lot of hair. My partner could hardle compose himself he was laughing so hard. The pt just kinda ignored it, not sure how, they ware CA&O...

Awesome! Due to my company shutting down, I took a job in 911 and am dieing to get back on the street. Be safe!

The link above is for Rescue Training. They are a great institution based out of Savannah. I have taken classes there as well as many people I know. Unfortunately, I have not been through the EMTT class so I cant comment on that, however, I can highly recommend them as far schools go. ETA...

My partner and I went on an unk medical in the city one afternoon. Turned out two be to ladies in their 50's in a poor section of town. The house had no AC and smelled pretty bad. They were doth pretty intoxicated and one of them was laying in the floor apparently unable to get to her feet...

There is a difference. The current Intermediate in GA is the I85 curriculum. To the best of my understanding, the new Advanced is similar to the I99 curriculum but with more airway, cardiac, and drugs.

Also, from what I have been told, after 1 Jan 2012, EMT-I will no longer be taught or recognized in GA. (Current Intermediates will be grandfathered in) The new standard levels will be EMT-B, EMT-A (Advanced) and EMT-P. As I understand it, EMT-A will be similar to the current EMT-I/99.

When MedStar was still running in Chatham county we had a few EMT-B's but they were not allowed to do much other than drive. EMT-I is the way to go in GA if you actually want to ride EMS. Paramedic is obviously more desireable. We actually have a First Responder certification, which is...

It took about 10 days to get mine. What part of are GA you in?

Savannah

They are a little pricey but I love the Redwing 4473's with the zipper kit. I have worn them for 8 years. I just had to get a new pair, my 2nd, about 6 months ago because I caught one of my original boots on the stretcher frame and the steel toe was exposed. The fit is amazing and they last...

Thats just what they did with him. He still rides on a truck every once in a while but not often because no one wants to work with him and have to drive every call.

We have a paramedic in our agency that got a DUI while he was employed. Our insurance agency said he is no longer to drive one of our vehicles, effective for 5 years. He has been in dispatch ever since. I am not sure if this helps you or not...

Hey everyone, I searched this topic and found results but the one I was looking at was 5years old and for some reason, the system would not let me bump it. So, Has anyone been using a veinlite? I have been using my flashlight up against the skin on difficult sticks but the vein lite seems...
