Just out of curiosity, does anyone really know of any documented standards for EMS standbys for events? Meaning number of medics per attendance level, etc.? And this includes with and without an ambulance. TDH here in Texas does not govern EMS standbys as for as licenses / standards unless there is a licensed transport ambulance being used so they have no clue. The folks I talked to in Arlington have no knowledge of any guidelines for standbys without an ambulance since they have no juridiction. I have also looked for information in fire service material as well as ISO outlets. No one seems to know. I find that odd. LOL Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I know this is a late post on the topic but MedStar IS probably your best bet in the DFW area. I started with them a month after they took over in Ft. Worth and worked there 9 years before moving on to greener pastures. They have changed a lot since then. I still have close friends that work there and from what I hear some of the problems remain as far as the City is concerned. But one thing I always enjoyed is that it's "a family" so to speak. I am sure there is some bickering and some people who do not get along but for the most part it is still a family team thing. Had a 25 year reunion in November 2011 and people that came, (some old employees some new), still made me feel like family. All companies and providers have there share of crap to deal with. In my opinion MedStar has the least in the DFW area.
