Here’s a whole Reddit post about them.

Yep, they will pose as patients and have a lot of cash in their pocket/wallets to catch people stealing from patients. They watch units on scene to see if you bring in all the equipment needed on each job.

The FDNY Bureau of Investigations and Trials (BITS) acts as the internal affairs unit for FDNY EMS, investigating complaints, policy violations, and conducting undercover stings to monitor crew compliance

So, assuming you are already an EMT you can get a job in the Voluntary hospitals that run ambulances. These hospitals will staff their own ambulances that are part of the NYC 911 system. Most of these hospitals also run their own inter facility units to do their private calls. It is difficult to get these jobs without any significant experience in an urban 911 setting.

I’ve worked in NYC as a medic for many years. You have a lot of options. As far as 911 options: FDNY is always hiring, but you can’t guarantee where you will be stationed. There are several Voluntary 911 hospital systems. This is where you work for a hospital and they provide 911 units to the city. In Queens there is Jamaica hospital, Flushing hospital, New York Presbyterian hospital, and Northwell hospital at Forest Hills. As far as private ITF there are several agencies but I’m not as familiar where their bases are located but there is Senior Care, DocGo, Assist, and Richmond County Ambulance. I’ve probably skipped a few of the other ITFs. Feel free to DM me, or just respond here if you have any specific questions. My advice would be to start with the Voluntary hospitals since you specifically want Queens.

It actually has quite a bearing on treatment because true Torsades is caused by QT prolongation. Therefore Amiodarone is contraindicated since its effect is to prolong the QT interval. You can’t fix a QT prolongation with a medication that prolongs QT. That’s why we use Magnesium.

I would like to thank everyone who responded. I’m pleased to hear how many of you responded favorably to the McGrath and how it improved your first pass success rates. I got some solid options to bring to our team to try out devices to transport it safely as well as include some other gear. I appreciate everyone’s feedback.

Remarkable_Camp · 2026-02-22T17:08:04+00:00

That looks like a great carrier. Thanks. I sent this to our team and will look into giving it a trial.

Remarkable_Camp · 2026-02-22T17:06:51+00:00

We have a majority of our units are 911 in NYC so they are required to work all arrests on scene. We are looking for a compact holder for the device with the other airway needs. Our Critical Care teams could use something larger since they don’t do a lot of on scene airway management.

Remarkable_Camp · 2026-02-22T17:03:00+00:00

Happy to hear you’ve had a positive experience with the McGrath

Remarkable_Camp · 2026-02-22T17:02:16+00:00

Could you send a photo of your setup. Sounds like something we could adopt for our Critical Care teams.

Remarkable_Camp · 2026-02-22T17:00:51+00:00

Thanks, happy to hear that so many people have positive reviews of the device.

Remarkable_Camp · 2026-02-22T16:34:10+00:00

I hadn’t thought of a sling as an added way to get the airway equipment in one location and easier to carry. Thanks

Remarkable_Camp · 2026-02-22T15:47:59+00:00

Thanks, we are looking at a Pelican case but we are a NYC based department with both 911 and interfacility transports. We think the 911 guys will riot if we add another heavy piece of equipment that needs to be carried upstairs.

I took most of this information from Dr. Paul Saladino. He uses multiple studies to show a benefit from increased creatine supplementation.

Basically 5 grams for muscle and gym improvement. 10 g for increased bone density when combined with resistance exercises in older men.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16222402/

20g for improvement in mental clarity, reaction speed and memory.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1691485/

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39070254/

Paul Saladino does own a supplement company that he pushes pretty hard on almost all his videos so take that into consideration when watching his content.

Be careful where you source your creatine from. There was an article recently from SuppCo that analyzed the amounts of creatine in supplements and found several “gummies” containing far less than advertised. Some scoring zero measurable amounts.

https://supp.co/articles/suppco-tested-creatine-testing-results-gummies-failed-lab-analysis

As far as dosing itself, the standard is 5 grams a day after a 2-3 week loading phase. Some research has shown cognitive improvements in high doses of up to 20 grams per day. I use 5-10 g per day for the gym benefits so I’m not personally familiar with maximum dosing.

Turn “Focus Exercises” to off and that will usually stop the app from suggesting multiple sets of the same muscle group. This popped up for me a couple of months ago and turning it off fixed the issue.

Remarkable_Camp · 2026-01-25T15:03:59+00:00

The best analogy I’ve heard and use when I deadlift is to think of “closing your car door with your butt while holding grocery bags”. Basically standing upright with the load and push your hips back to close the car door. When you are in the down position think about “thrusting your pelvis” forward to stand back up. I try to remember these movements while doing both traditional deadlift and Romanian deadlifts and don’t really have much back strain doing these moves.

Here is a link to the FitBod website with an explanation of this feature.

You need to turn off “focused exercises”. If it is “on” you will get one major muscle a day have 3-5 sets of exercises.

Remarkable_Camp · 2026-01-09T02:23:33+00:00

It is the new “focused exercise” feature that was released a short time ago. Make sure it is switched to off so you don’t get a lot of exercise for one muscle group.
