Jems.com - not sure if it is free, or if you have to find someone who has a subscription for that month. I think that month may be free, because it was the EMS Today issue.

Can't believe I haven't replied to this thread.

I'm originally from Pasadena, California. Now, I live in Sierra Madre California, which is the next city over (our house is 5 1/2 miles from my parents). Yes, I've lived in the same 5 1/2 mile circle my whole life.

My wife's been more of the traveller. She grew up in central Indiana, went to school in southern Indiana, went to some more school in Virginia, then moved out here.

I still have not been able to get hold of that article, but if they mentioned that there are less than 400 active EMT-P for the whole country, they would be correct.

If they mentioned that we can treat up to 10 gunshot/stabbing victims in one night and on a regular bases they would be correct.

If they said that we can then respond up to 4 serious MVAs in one shift they would be correct.

I could go on but i hope that that gives you an indication of what can happen, will try to get hold of the article, till then hope this answers the question.
