Hello, I'm new here, been working EMS in Providence on what I think is a busy truck. We do about 5000 calls a year, als and bls, mostly bs to be quite honest. I know we do a lot of calls compared to the other cities around here. We have six rescues for a city of about 180,000, can never keep up.
Typical week is a thirty-four hour shift followed by 24 off then thirty-eight then three days off then do it all over.
Is this normal? I honestly don't know and can't find and information from google searches etc.
Thanks for any input, much appreciated.
