  1. FDNY EMS has many Haz Tac units (ALS and BLS) through out the city trained to "technician"level.We are trained to operate in the "hot zone"in level A fully encapsulated suits w/SCBA's.The main responsibility is triage,medical management ,and decon of contaminated Pt.'s.We are also trained to administer antidote (Atropine and 2pam).

    This training isn't required,but it should be!All other EMS personnel are trained to "awareness"level.

  2. what are we running, including the voluntaries and Metroscare? 250 plus ambulances a tour, for those 3,000 calls a day?

    I'm not really sure...but I'll look in to it.Richard,what's the highest CAD # you have ever seen?We work T3 and late job #'s are all ways over 3000.I'm sure you have seen some busy summer nights in your time!

    Just a thought....Imagine how our job would be if there was no such thing as drugs and alcohol...... :roll:

  3. I have never be called a racist,but I've been called every racist slur you could imagine.The reason it doesn't bother me is I consider the source.Most times it's coming from an intoxicated,incarcerated,emotional disturbed person.They grab for the easiest most offensive thing to say.

    I've worked with some people with racist views.That is difficult.I try not to debate these issues,but rather be an example.Be consistant with my patient care-no matter who or what they are.

    Where I work and live I am the minority.
