I think it depends on which state you live in. I was told by my emt instructor that Pa does not have a duty to act

ha i agree, I myself tend to wait until the last min on things it's a bad habbit i m trying to break. i told the students that their boss may contact me , The letter idea sounds great ! thank you nypamedic43 and paramedic mike

They are emt's and their certs are going to expire at the end of the month . I told them that on ave it takes around 2 wks for the cards to come in via mail. They said their boss won't let them be on the trucks without it.

Hi , I was teaching a cpr course and a student asked me for a temp cpr card until the cards came . I never heard of temp cpr card ( although that sounds brilliant). Has anyone heard of them or know how to obtain them? Thank you.

no i don't think this is our er doc. I heard about this from a friend so googled craigslist and er doc . Im not sure where our er doc is from but it appears this one is from the san fran area.

Thank you springding!

Thanks tcripp, my supervisor suggested to first buy the blue alien since im just starting out and my budget is small. I like your thought on the aed. thanks again.

Hi, I recently received my bls instructor cert from aha. I was curious about cpr manikins. Are there ones that are better then others? Im torn between cpr prompt manikins ( blue body/ cheaper in price) and the little anne ones ( which we used in the instructor course). Also any suggestions on aed trainers ( phillips, zoll etc) would be appreciated too. Thank you!

haha. they said 2 more companies are going to be indicted soon. still, there are over 50 private companies in the city and right out the city. once owner find out they are being watched, they close and open up under a new name. There should be a freeze. Its out of control.

as stated above pfd ( ems side) rarely have dual medics now. They are so short handed that most of the time its one ff and one medic. The pfd hasn't had a medic class in i think over 3 or 5 yrs. Also i am not sure if their whole system is the busiest in the nation, but i know one of their medic trucks has had the most calls in the nation. as far as the private ambulance ( transport companies) their are i believe over 50 just in phila. alone. with many more right outside of the city. Most have less then 5 trucks. Working for one is a great way to learn the area but thats about it. you would prob never use your skills for you mostly would do dialysis runs

that made my night thank you :thumbsup:

yes , the way it was explained to me that both pts were stable. He said the one pt that sits up front was not being billed but does ( or did if still living) have a hx of HTN and has had b/p over 200 after treatment. the other pt would be on the stretcher since that pt was being billed. I just think God forbid something happen to the pt while sitting in the front seat ( vehicle accident, stroke) Thanks everyone for all the input ohh and yes bls pt.s

I know this is an old post , but i have a question. One of my co workers said at his old company they would transport 2 dialysis patients at the same time. I asked how is that legal? He stated that since one pt was not being billed they would put him in the front seat and the other patient on the stretcher. I cant find any info on this subject online. This was the first i ever heard of this . Anyone else hear of transporting 2 non emergency pt's at the same time.

would anyone or has anyone taking off their boots to enter a place of worship? I personally have never encounter a situation like that, but I don't think i would take of my boots first then treat the pt.

Thanks i just signed up with first reponders. anatomychick here is the site http://www.firstresponders.com/

Hello, I was curious if anyone knew of any other companies that give discounts to ems . I know p.c. richardson, sprint, and nextel . Anyone know of any others? Thanks

thanks lone. wow why would you talk like that over the radio? we all complain from time to time about a job but, never over a radio/phone line. this day and age you never know who is listening.

Does anyone know what was said over the phone/radio that got the medic fired?
