From 28 CFR Part 35 ADA

This is correct. See ADA.

Just last week I took my dog to Balboa park for a walk and saw a Balboa Ambulance parked nearby, so I would say they are still operating.

I was under the impression that you have to pass your written exam before taking the skills test.

More like first-aid merit badge :blush:

Would that be sarcasm or patronizing, or a combination of both? Sarcazing. :blink:

Dang... Did the person live?

I was sorta joking JPV, I am all for school and think it is a good thing and anyone who says different is only fooling themselves. There are many professions like engineering, Chemical science, biological science to name a few that you can not even get into without a degree, there are exceptions...

I don't know. I had molecular biology class and all I can remember is that you got this little protein molecule enzyme thingy that goes to a little cell and say's "Hey bud, let's party" and the cell opens its little cell door and other little molecules run in and out the door. On the chemistry...

Oldest patient. She was born in 1910... The year I met her was 2011 :o

And yet you seem to know what I was referring too, thanks for the correction professor.:rolleyes:

Wasn't that a result of the new deal? :wacko:

The purse strings will be tightened to be sure, but on the positive note, grant money is being issued for research into pre-hospital care and this may set forth a end of outdated procedures and create new more useful procedures. This money may also find the lacking in the current EMS teaching...

Just to get the ball rolling, I think from what is in the last paragraph I quoted, that where you transport a patient to will be assessed as to cost and efficiency. In rural areas this may not be a big deal, but in larger cities this will be an issue. Change is coming. Also, with grant money...

For those of you that have yet to peruse the over 2000 pages of legal globbidy gook also known as the American Health Care Act, or more popularly known as Obamacare. How do you see Obamacare impacting EMS here in the good ol US of A? My casual stroll through this ungodly monstrosity of a...

Yes, sorry for hijacking your thread...

This from the ACA. This could be a good thing in some ways and bad in others. From the driving routes we take to hospital x, to the non-emergent patients we routinely transport. Affordable health care will change EMS as we know it. Again just my prognostication.

Don't confuse the city of San Diego with San Diego County. Metro has the city.

I think this whole discussion may be moot. With the Affordable Health Care Act in affect, EMS may see big changes, one being accountability. For EMS companies, I see a big change looming and every penny spent will need paperwork. By 2018 I foresee a whole new practice in the US EMS system. In...
