Scott33 is correct, take the dog with you always.

LOL, that was funny!!!!

Just retest. Did you fail it 3 times already and need a refresher course? That is the way it was in the past, not sure what it is now.

I've been in EMS for the pass 7 years with a private company, so I can't compare it to anything else. But I do see calls being scheduled without the trucks to run them, it's all about money. I've had my share of Large patient and not having assistance to help, but you know, I sit there till help arrive, no matter how long it takes. The pay could and should be better, and the same with benefits. As far as equipment, we have all the bells and whistles. The company is CAAS accredited, so everyone has their own portable radio, we are able to transmitt STEMI to the local hospitals, everything is blue tooth compatable. So as far as the toys we are state of the art, as far as employee treatment, it could be a lot better. We are not a family anymore, we are not indispensable anymore, too big a waiting list for new hires. Sad, but True.....
