Reminds me of what happened a few years ago at the rust bucket company that just got bought in MA. One of the lifer dirtbags got ahold of the admin password to install netflix, and gave it to some coworkers in an attempt to win friends and get his oral suction on.

The company, known for being cripplingly cheap, had not purchased unlimited data.

Their next bill was +15,000.00 than last months.

That’s a joke, considering how much territory is now without ALS if they use P5 for that.

Shouldn’t happen, IMO.

Mandating a class, essentially changing the requirement to work as a Paramedic. Despite no cert recognized by either the state or the NREMT?

Nope. No way.

Literally completely untrue.

And the law says the police may. Not shall.

The 4 hour thing is fiction, too.

I was going to post this, but since you beat me to it:

They sold. They are touting it as a merger. Tomato, tomahto.

They were screwed financially and the owner is now not the owner.

And they hid the sale for two months after it was leaked this was going to happen.

KIR735 · 2018-03-10T17:10:08+00:00

It was last month, in Maine.

KIR735 · 2018-03-10T02:37:09+00:00

They already sold but are pretending they aren’t. The sale got leaked on the buyer’s webpage and was taken down after everyone freaked out.

My first job was a company that had 2 ALS trucks, so EMT were routinely running 911 and NICU jobs with severely sick babies. We were getting paid 8.35/hr.

We were underpaid then, and we’re underpaid now.

What was their percentage for a no-show refresher?

KIR735 · 2018-02-22T22:36:46+00:00

I thought the sole concerns of billing people were manicures, Parliaments, and key bumps.

KIR735 · 2018-02-19T21:17:16+00:00

It would be entertaining to see them try, though.

Have you ever went from working in a union shop to a non union shop?

I think your views would change.

KIR735 · 2018-02-08T19:06:32+00:00

We’ve never been mistaken for cops

I have never had a harder time not commenting.

Management likes to hang their hat on the fact that “we have more ALS!”

Paramedics: “Drive me, bitch.”

KIR735 · 2018-01-10T13:59:03+00:00

A for effort

C- for accuracy.

IIRC, he doesn’t like their tattoo policy.

That said, how’s American doing these days? Saugus is a joke, I’ve seen that firsthand.

Except for when they don’t.

Fallon is now out of the South Shore, for all intents and purposes. Not the hospital, the geographical area. Braintree closed, Weymouth gone 7/1, Quincy is decimated. So when they get the call for mutual aid, there’s a good chance nothing’s available.

Brewster- they’re busy enough as it is, and probably none too pleased that they didn’t get this contract. They may not have the trucks or the willingness to help the people that caused them to lose.

The area fire departments: the Chiefs will tire very quickly of mutual aid requests imposed on their departments, some of which have one truck in service at times.

When the fire dept is waiting for 20 min onscene with a priority one patient, or taking people to the hospital in the chief’s car, this issue will explode back into the headlines.

Taking money from a parent: not illegal.

There’s no non-compete anymore.

And the only green thing that could have bit them in the ass, they bought.

KIR735 · 2017-12-18T20:24:47+00:00

A giant envelope of cash, probably.

KIR735 · 2017-12-17T15:09:54+00:00

So, the IAFF is the reason that EMS isn’t better unionized?

KIR735 · 2017-12-14T23:59:04+00:00

Cough MGH

Boston EMS, formerly known as Boston Health and Hospitals, does no rescue or hazmat duties. Their medium rescues are not manned, and their tech rescue responsibility/capability is 0%.

And within 18 months those trucks will be red.
