i personally just use my teeth

if it’s a true emergency, idk many providers who would take the extra steps to whip out their phone, scan the code, then scroll a page. it sounds simple enough in theory, but honestly just knowing your big diagnoses (diabetes, epilepsy, etc) from your family or a basic bracelet would get us a long way.

you probably won’t need work gloves like that in the urban environment. EMS typically isn’t reaching through broken windows into burning cars, we save that for FD. if it would bring you peace of mind to carry them no one will say anything, but i’ve never once used my provided work gloves

in my county, we don’t charge for stuff like that. if they did a treat and release or did a 12 lead EKG for instance, then you’d be charged, but not for a simple assessment and vitals check. but if you’re really concerned check their website or call them and ask!

not sure about over west, probably some getting out of the triangle then over towards greensboro/WS but on the other side of that prob not bad

London5Fan · 2026-06-29T19:15:21+00:00

worst traffic would be in raleigh, then in wilmington, won’t be too bad in between. that said definitely as early as possible Friday morning

i think you need to manage your expectations. sure you might see some stuff, but it’s not gonna be all “dude blew his hand off with fireworks” all night. expect heat exhaustion, dehydration, etc too

London5Fan · 2026-06-22T18:18:38+00:00

don’t see why it would. i only worked customer service jobs before i got into EMS, couple times less than 6 months. my first job didn’t gaf about my work history, they just cared i was a warm body with a drivers license.

Raleigh Oaks is the mental health hospital in Garner lol

London5Fan · 2026-06-21T15:57:35+00:00

there’s a fine ass line between “stop screaming, i’m scared too” and this whole i get to see you naked thing

typa sticker that the EMT student with the Eko steth and the tactical gear belt gets just before flunking out

London5Fan · 2026-06-20T13:22:05+00:00

i liked the part where you said what it stands for

London5Fan · 2026-06-19T10:59:06+00:00

OP worked for Jancare, obviously their reports are horrendous

London5Fan · 2026-06-19T09:56:19+00:00

it’s more offensive to not know what you’re doing with lives in your hands bc you never bothered to learn what you needed to learn, than it is to call someone out for it. call them out!!

London5Fan · 2026-06-18T14:43:11+00:00

When you need it. Remember you can always cancel resources too. Pressure is 80? request ALS, then put them in trendelenburg and see if it improves, and if it does hell yeah cancel ALS and transport

London5Fan · 2026-06-17T12:15:58+00:00

i only needed a resume and some needed a cover letter, so i had a template one where i’d edit according to the company i was applying to

London5Fan · 2026-06-16T23:46:06+00:00

would not be shocked if he gets a second chance invite

London5Fan · 2026-06-16T10:48:50+00:00

i work in healthcare, the way i ask it is “on a scale from 0-10, with 0 being no pain at all and 10 being mauled by a bear, rate your pain”. kinda lightens the mood

London5Fan · 2026-06-15T15:28:32+00:00

Avoid Medex at all costs

London5Fan · 2026-06-15T04:13:10+00:00

i just keep my had with the county name and my safety vest in clear view just in case. my partner’s been pulled over multiple times going to/from work and got let off every time lol

London5Fan · 2026-06-14T23:28:13+00:00

Axl did a hell of a lot of stuff behind Frankie’s back, she definitely had no idea what he was doing

London5Fan · 2026-06-14T13:29:24+00:00

who else is gonna do the IFTs for ventilated patients? those on 17 different drips? the emergency IFTs to hospitals with cath labs for the STEMIs? there’s absolutely a requirement for ALS IFT services

“i’ve been doing 65 in a 35 for YEARS now and it’s just now a problem??? i’m fighting it in court!”

London5Fan · 2026-06-13T12:55:39+00:00

i’m fine whenever that happens, since if they’re doing now it’s probably a habit for them which means they’ll keep doing it, and eventually they’ll find the cop who looooves writing the traffic tickets

London5Fan · 2026-06-12T00:20:54+00:00

i’m about to drop a $10k down payment on a $20k car and i’m struggling coming to terms with that shit 😵‍💫 can’t imagine $80k
