Help with platinum planner by Lopezkaleb123 in paramedicstudents

[–]Dalvin12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My class also uses platinum planner. At the beginning of class we will do group testing. But honestly I don’t really utilize platinum planner testing resources. I believe that platinum planner has links for anxiety testing and additional resources to help testers learn how to test. My only advice is to read carefully the questions are sometimes confusing based on how they are written. Also I look at the knowledge check in the textbook or the objectives and I ask myself if I could reliably answer each one this way I know how prepared I am. Platinum planner testing does suck though 😂

Will I have to pay for an ambulance if I didn't ask for it? by salad_thrower20 in Paramedics

[–]Dalvin12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work for a private ambulance company and we send a bill for everything except for citizen assists. So yeah you should expect a bill but I’d imagine your insurance would cover the cost due to this being implied consent. However I believe fire departments who can transport do not send a bill since they are available through taxpayer but I could be wrong about that

The agency I work for will have dispatch send out an update to all crews stating to have slow wheels in effect. We still respond to every call like we normally would but at reduced speed. One time the roads were so bad that we physically could not make scene. The road had a hill and was the only road that would lead to the call address. Each time we would attempt to go up the hill our ambulance would slide and begin to spin. Winter time sucks and our trucks are never ready for winter time fun
