      Why police come to my home before EMT when 911 is called

      I I had a seizure, this is in Deltona, FL, for some reason the cops came. NEVER before had the cops showed up before the EMT in the past. Now when my dad was dying of cancer and I was taking care of him on hospice. We've had to call 911, There was a DNR. and he was on hospice. MY dad was my world, at the time my mom was in a mentally Facility because she had a break down watching him die. He was diagnosed with cancer and in 10 months died. I was upset telling them to take him to the hospital. He didn't need to be resuscitate anyways. I never threaten her or got violent in any way. WE got into an argument. she told me "she would fix" me. I didn't know what that meant. After I calmed down, remind you 4 days prior on Thanksgiving 22 my brother in law of 25 years died in our home, they came up from polk county n at 330am he was found unconscious pronounced dead of an overdose sometime later, before they took my dad to hospital in tears I apologized.(6 days later my dad died) Next day after seizure, I had psychosis. Never had before in my life. I had an addiction to pills for 15 years but have been clean 8 years now. since 2018. Volusia cty police showing up first. There officers need to be trained on how to handle people having seizures and psychosis. I have no memory until two days later waking up in Halifax mental part. When drug test came back clean again urine and blood, they were ready to release me. The police were violent with me, my family even trying to tell them. They lied to Halifax why I was being backer acted, they treated me awful. HOW CAN I FIND out why Volusia police comes out when 911 is called for me?

      in a pickle

      There are a couple of options you might have. 1. take a job at a local ER as a tech or a paramedic 2. work a transfer truck 3. Move to another state - if you can. Minnesota gives their licenses out just for applying. But that's a big move. 4. Find a volunteer service you can help out at. This might be the only response you get from this site. If you move to missouri let me know, I can point you in the right direction of the services to look at on the west side of missouri

      Hello!

      Hello, It seems like there has been a couple of posts here over the last couple of days or weeks. Honestly you would be better served by finding a facebook group or other group as before the posts since june, the previous post was a year ago. This used to be one of most popular EMS Related discussion group but facebook sort of put this group out of commission because the responses were not instant. You won't get many responses to your posts if any at all. Sorry.

      in a pickle

      Hi, i have been through two boughts of EMS education and got through the seccond time. i took my test on the 7th and my state license came later. however im in a pickle. if not all of my county volunteer organization went paid and now are bound to the main county department. i had just missed the hiring windows for the municipalities around me. im now have a certification, with nothing to use it with. patient transport is an option but i check the last time, work was far away. it seems I have no work to put m creditals to use and probably have to wait until next year for the hiring windows to open. this is forcing me to get my PHTLS certs this year instead of next year to bide my time. this issue is coumpounded by the fact that the county i reside in is desprate for bodies in ambulances but the hiring windows are closed for the time being. What do i do?

      Anyone here taken or gone up against the Fisdap online exam as a condition of employment?

      I am currently attending an EMR Course with the Fire Department. We take our FISDAP on the 6th of next month. I have been cramming in preparation for it, to the point that I get pretty stressed by it. I have to just back away from my studies for a bit, then hit it again when I clear my mind, Lol. I am my own worst critic, regardless of my score - I should have done better, Dang it!! No - I'm not perfect, but I strive for perfection daily.

      Do I Need a Driver CPC to Keep My HGV Licence?

      Yes, you need a Driver CPC to keep your HGV licence valid. If you haven’t been driving, you’ll need to complete 35 hours of periodic training every 5 years. Check your CPC status online and take any necessary courses to stay compliant.

      Do I Need a Driver CPC to Keep My HGV Licence?

      Hi all, I hold an HGV licence but haven't been actively driving. A recent conversation led me to believe that I now need a Driver CPC to keep my licence valid. I'm struggling to find clear information on this. Could anyone clarify whether this is true? If so, what steps do I need to take to ensure my licence remains valid? Thanks in advance!

      CA: Keeping EMT-B equipment at home

      I think that would depend on your State regulations. In the UK yes absolutely - as long as it falls within your normal scope of practice it’s OK to keep a BVM and use the skill in an off duty scenario. I. America - who knows, suggest you talk to other local EMTs
