Today I've had a strong urge to strangle my partner. That's normal, right? It's been a long 72...

Go Texas!

You don't REALLY need to go to the hospital for that chest pain...it's probably just indigestion.

Do you work for Washington DC?

 

[usalsfyre]

Do you work for Washington DC?

Nope, but I did get to see what a fine EMS system they ran during paramedic school clinicals.

I mean, no one trust medics with diazepam, right?

 

[JPINFV]

Don't worry, they don't trust the medics in Southern California with reading a 12 lead.

You can say that again. But they did just hire three...and are hiring some more next week I think.

Heh, I worked for a FD that didn't even have 12 lead EKG till 2006, and still doesn't call STEMI alerts.

I'm not schedules to be done with my academy / FTO / DTOs till December 17th, followed shortly after with a 2 hour medical discussion with my medical director... who's also an RN and Paramedic. Talk about in over my head.

Oh.. and protocol test this Wednesday.


*sigh*



Oh well, just opened a new bag of candy corn and about to watch Walking Dead.

 

[usalsfyre]

But your a month ahead of me.

 

[Shishkabob]

I'm going to be dropped in to your academy for the driving portion :rofl:



But hey, I get 32+ hours of CEs just doing this academy alone. We're doing AMLS and EMPACT.

 

[usalsfyre]

Of course, assuming the silence out of them regarding my status isn't their way of saying "eff off"...

 

[usalsfyre]

Empact?

 

[Shishkabob]

Call them. I KNOW they'll want you as they're still looking for more L4s.

Did they start the background? That takes a week. Mine took 9 days to hear back.

Empact?

Emergency Medical Patients: Assessment, Care, and Transport.

Essentially from what I gather from the video I saw and descriptions, think AMLS with group discussions on treatment plans.

They told me they were starting it, I'm hoping they're just not in a hurry because the late academy date.

Interviewed with the other place Friday as well, that seemed to go well too.

 

[Shishkabob]

Yeah I mean you still have a month and 5 days before the start date. It took me since late July / early August to start. Did they say they were starting their background check?



No! You have to work with me! No flying for you!
