Hey it was worth a shot-I guess the lets join hands and sing kumbuya, just doesnt cut it anymore. Just playing devils advocate. The Trooper had a bad case of road rage. But the paramedic left the patient, he was disrespectfull toward the Trooper. 2 wrongs don't make a wright. Also the Trooper seemed to be trying to talk to the Driver, and the Medic butted in. Yes i know I cant type or spell. Be safe.

its official now- the paramedic in question says the trooper should lose his job. this is a bit much, how about a apology. every one makes mistakes and or has a bad day. PS i am a medic. if the medic screwed up- I would not want him to lose his job.

Bravo Zulo. thats navy pilot talk for well done. Lets try again, Bravo Zulu. its been 11 years. sorry.

I vote pill counter with cotton puller. did some time in the pahrmacy.

I live in Mi but applied to sunstar ambulance service, he gave me a whole lot of info including a practice 150 question test. Sunstar is in Florida. I have been a medic since 1995 in MI. I took the parctice test and I passed. Let me know I will E-mail it too you. My e-mail is Medic82942003@yahoo.com. I will send you all the info he gave me. Good luck. The guy in florida said the Florida test is simular to NREMT, he did not advise to take the test cold, but to study. He also said alot of Ohio and MI people are relocating due to jobs in Florida right now. Cheers.

Remember your buddies who did not come home.

R.I.P. Pray for family.

Do you know what kind of pull a EMT union state wide would have.? think about it.? Rock on. Good Luck.

Good job- see one, do one,teach one. good recall.

Rest in peace.

Here is the skinny on MI law regarding working during the grace period of your medic license. You have 60 days after your license expires to work. (1978 public Act 368.) After that your license is null and void. I reported the girl to my supervisor after 75-76 days after her license had expired. So at the least she worked about 2 weeks on a expired license. Now depending if she told the truth on her application for renewal. Its a 2 week window, if she lied on her application, I believe it counts for the whole 60-76 day period which she worked. Therefor the ambulance service may be held liable for the whole period. Also I was a SAR Corpsman with the Marines. USMC- United States Marine Corps. Which also stands for U suckers missed christmas. The Navy supplies Medical and Dental personnel to the Marine Corps. I found that out after I enlisted. Good group of people to work for though, agresive pilots and Aircrew, they did not take any crap from anyone. Semper Fi. OK I am now done. Cheers. Be safe.

Here is a update on what happened. First of all mucho thanks to Lonestar for the information. this incident happened 6 months ago while i was working, at the time I was recovering from multiple Brown recluse bites. The worst of which was my left hip, I had a hole the size of a half dollar in my hip and it hurt like hell. I was working one night doing transfer after transfer, while the basic crew slept (they were good friends with dispatch). I just happened to mention to someone about what happened- less than 5 minutes latter my supervisor called me up(2030 at night, and tore me a knew one.) I later called him and gave him my week notice, he said you can quit right now as far as I care. Well he called my bluff, so I quit. I was told not to say anything about the Incident, but the medic in question was able to call everyone and sugercoat the story. the next day 90 percent of the company hated my guts, because she was popular with the guys. I quit also because this happened in Detroit, Mi- there was a big problem with the Ex-mayor and EMS personnel talking about a so called party. Ems personnel were aware of a so called party- where a girl took part, but no one talked about it for a year- they were afraid of losing their jobs. they all got suspended anyway. The girl in question was killed soon after party. I got word that a girl might be working on a expired license- i went to the state web site- looked under paramedic and found the word expired next to her name. I gave a copy to the supervisor, who told the boss. the next day I was talking to the boss and she said she let the girl go. Not to come back until her Paramedic license was updated by the state. I quit 2-3 days later. I was on the poo-poo list because I was the only one with enought balls to turn her in. I later found out that the girl was told by the state thjat she would never hold a paramedic License agian in the state of MI. As far as being afraid to report it, My first job as a basic was Search and rescue Corpsman. Flight Medic with a Maine CH-46 squadron, (Frogs) HMM-365 of the USS Guam. I sat in the middle of a Mine field flying combat SAR. 1990 1991 Gulf War. Thanks for all the info everybody. By the way I reported it, AND NOW i WILL FOLLOW IT UP. mY Typing stinks sorry abiut that.

I worked for a transport company in Michigan, I found out a medic was working on a expired license and refered this to my supervisor. the problem was we were short medics and the boss was letting her work thinking she was able to work during a 60 day grace period. Once I advised them that i found out about this they basically told me shut up or leave, I quit. What next, should I report this to anyone or just move on.? Our service was 70 percent transfers 30 percent 911. Once again what would you do?

God Bless-We need more people like him.
