    EMS Based Fire anyone?

    in General EMS Discussion

    Posted

    I know a lot of people on here are against fire-based EMS, and basically just everything that has to do with the fire department. As a firefighter, this hurts me a bit. BUT lets put that aside, because I've come up with an idea that should make you folks happy!

    What about EMS based Fire? Let EMS run the show, be in charge, be high and mighty like they deserve! I mean, EMS are the people that deal with the most. Let them have the pretty things, and be in control of the fire departments instead of the other way around. Make them constantly renew their certifications (though a lot of awesome firefighters constantly take classes to improve themselves, but come on now you don't want to give us credit, so we'll look past that as well.)

    Now this is a new idea, but I would love to hear people input so I can build on it and maybe one day make it successful!

    I'm thinking that if you want to be any form of firefighter, at minimum you have to be an EMT-B, to move up to an officers position you have to be at least an EMT-I, and to be the head dog on the fire part you have to be a paramedic. T

    I don't know, this could work. I'll post more when I have it all worked out, but come on give me some input guys!

    Combative Patients Refusing Treatment?

    If he's fighting, we have PD assist us. They use force if it gets to that point. And most of the time they will cuff him. We request that if they cuff the pt that they do so to the rails on the litter so we can still do everything that we need to. In situations like that we don't enter until PD is there, and we make PD go along with us, just in case anything happens. If they are cuffed PD is with us. End of story.

    EMTs and EMT-Is speak out!

    I've been in the shoes of Sir Duke and the others who get pissed when AK, Dust, let me sleep, etc "bash" basics intermediates, vollies, what have you. I got pissed, complained, what have you. But then I finally pulled my head out of my ass and realized what they were saying. And I've learned a lot from it. I am still a basic, but I am returning to school in July to get my paramedic. Why? Because I love EMS. I want it to be my profession. And I want to do whatever it takes to make the profession as a whole grow. I don't want to be part of the reason why it is held back.

    I think if those of you who get offended by the as they are being referred "paragods" would take some time, listen to them, take what they say as constructive ccritisim and learn. Those want EMS as a profession to grow. They want what is best for it. They want educated people, because lets face it, this stuff isn't easy, and it's not for everyone. You need education, I will fight for education until I am blue in the face. And I will fight to help this profession grow until I can't possibly fight anymore.

    I don't know what the rest of you may think, or what you are doing to better yourself or the profession. But I know I personally am going to do everything that I possibly can to better myself that way I can help better this.

    On that note, I want to thank Dust and AK, they've helped me through a lot of this stuff. Though at first I didn't realize it. I've learned a lot from you two. Thank you.
