No he didn't people are too scared to say anything to him and unless I make a big deal out of it, nothjing will be done (and people wonder why our response times a delayed)?????
Dang!! That is really sad!! If someone is that burnt out, they should retire from EMS and go into another field of work!! Did they get into trouble for taking so long???
I think this is a really good, well thought out video - as realistic as possible without being too graphic. I think the problem is a serious one, and that this video will give viewers a harsh incentive not to drive and text.
now to this day I live by that motto And try not to let a tradigy like this happen again and hat is why I love this job and peple cant understand the way I think. But evertime I go on a call it is in memory of my two daghters Tammy Rene and lovonn...
to continue his office then said only my daughters were lost my son had been blown out the front door along with his mother needless to say It didnt reall help me I had lost it. Well he finally said to heck with it he got on the radio and said he ...
People can't understand how I can do this job. This is the story. From 1968 till 1972 I was a 5th Special Forces sniper in Vietnam. My first job was to bag bodies for transport back to the United States. After doing this for a while I finally got ...
It is funny how things will affect people. I have a friend who is an EMT tell me the other day that she just had the worst call of her career. What was it? An old lady that they were doing a routine transfer on from the hospital back to the nursin...
One thing I have to mention is that one of the keys to surviving in EMS is to have non-EMS friends. So while you should have a few friends from EMS to lean back on when you need to, you should also have a healthy amount of ones who aren't in EMS a...
There are only two things (so far) that have affected me in a serious way... the first is the impact that the job can have on your personal life. The solution (as Blair said more eloquently than I can) is to lean on your coworkers / friends, the R...
Funny, my last night shift ended with a SIDS case before I read this. There's a certain cry that I've only heard when a parent's child has died, and we heard it from the front door of this house. No resuscitation attempt, just psychological first ...
I hope so, because I believe this person IS burnt out, BIG TIME. Its just unprofessional, lazy, careless, we would get a call in the middle of the night, they would take 10minutes to come down to the truck, then they would got to the toliet, then ...
We had some like that were I work and a emt-b would end up acting way out on the line on pt care.
They would get mad because this medic would not do his job and the rest of us would end up pick up after his not caring. He left EMS he was burned ou...
Funny we get treated the same in New Zealand, only we get subway 50% off and still do, anyways, turned up in an ambulance the other day to get dinner at subway, parked the truck outside, myself and my partner Shannon walked in and we got to the ch...
So my day started off okay, got up had a shower put on the old uniform ready for a lovely day at the "Office".
So I got to the station and yet again the roster had been changed and I was on with the person I frankly detest the most. After a year o...

My Great (FRUSTRATING) Day
So my day started off okay, got up had a shower put on the old uniform ready for a lovely day at the "Office".
So I got to the station and yet again the roster had been changed and I was on with the person I frankly detest the most. After a year of occasionally being rostered on with them I had struck a period where every time I was on on that shift I would end up working with them. Why? Because people had started to pull out of shifts because originally they were rostered on with this person an… Continue

As a newly-licenced paramedic, I also agree that the current system is flawed. My clinicals alternated between extremely good and a few situations where I was the most-senior person on the truck...as a student. The problem isn't limited to the civ...
doc,
You are also forgetting the relative call volumes and the effect they have. Law enforcement is the busiest function (crime fighting) so the cops have the least time to devote to other, non-crime-fighting functions.
That makes it intutively o...
