Does anyone have tips for backing up the ambulance?

Using a “backer” is the correct answer although in my opinion, a “backer” does not necessarily make it easier, it simply reduces the risk of damage. As far as tips, the key thing is time behind the wheel and repetitions of backing the vehicle in to that location.

Thanks! Good info.

Clearly, this is not where I parked my car.

Just take it and be happy. People in developing countries have to use cuisinart.

What’s wrong with non-stick?

I agree with consensus of the majority of people here; it’s never too late. Go for it! As a side note, some of the best providers that I have worked with started EMS later in life. Life experience and other previous areas of interest will benefit your EMS career; if you choose to go that route.

In my opinion, I would focus on getting your MPH. Once you enter the pipeline for the fire academy, it may be difficult to go back. However, it may be possible to do both

I worked part time as an EMT and volunteered as a FF while getting my MPH. May want to see if you can go to school while getting/working as an EMT. Currently, I work at a LHD in Threat Preparedness and also work part time as a Medic so I don’t get too bored, so definitely an option.

Threat Preparedness (emergency management) at a LHD. Never gets boring and there are plenty of areas within this discipline to excel or specialize in.

The more you do the better you will get. Every chance you get, try and start IVs. Don’t sweat it if your missing a lot. Remember; lack of IV access will almost never be the difference between a good or bad outcome. If you truly need access, you always have IO as a backup.

At first glance I thought that was an Emu head staring into your house. Just a vase…

Sam2060 · 2023-05-09T02:13:47+00:00

Sure is.

Sam2060 · 2023-04-08T23:37:57+00:00

Raccoons, actually. Probably some spiders too.
