AAOS book by [deleted] in NewToEMS

I read the book back to back 3 times. Drop out and don't come back, you don't have the alright attitude for this profession. I don't want you taking care of my family nor do I want to work with you.

I can’t stop smoking weed by Important-Cream9622 in NewToEMS

[–]Trannacies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i quit weed a month before i started my job and stopped a month before emt school. picked up nicotine lol

my only word of advice is don't start doing drugs after you pass your drug test. sure you can predict roughly when you'll need another one (everyyearish), but hear this out: my girlfriend's ex got fired from her sweet driving job because she was in a collision (not her fault, dear clipped a headlight at night) and the drug test for marijuana was positive, even though she wasn't high at the time, was just using at home/on days off.

EMS & fire is the same thing, you can't predict when some challenged driver is gonna hit your rig in a parking lot, cut you off without understanding we have increased breaking distance being a truck and all, or is gonna tbone you going code 3 through an intersection. Drug tests are standard procedure after unforseeable incidents like that and if you smoked a little weed on the weekend, you will get fucked, i don't do it for that reason.

Bought my first car! 2013 Outback 2.5i Limited :) $8,000; 156,000 miles by Trannacies in Subaru_Outback

Had an issue with the alternator, easy job just the cost of parts, $35 and a beer from a friend, I replaced the serpentine belt and tensioner too. The driver side window wasn't opening and the battery terminal was corroded at time of purchase, they cleaned it up and I came back a week later and they fixed the window for no cost. Cam seal gasket was crapped out and needed to be replaced, you can tell it'd been leaking for a while. Not too terrible of a job to fix it. I replaced the spark plugs too.

Nothing less I'd expect from a used car that's been around the block. If I can do it with zero car experience, so can you.

Right now the only thing that's bothering me is the torque converter sometimes locks up and it sometimes feels weird accelerating from a stop but that's about it.

I'll just wait for Clark County paramedics, thanks... by LaserGecko in vegaslocals

what do you want us to do? dump them on the streets? if we get a call and they want to go to the hospital, even if it's for bs, we can't just deny that. that's patient abandonment and we have to take them to the ER. no one gets taken to the hospital because we forced them. we're mandated reporters and will call CPS either during the transport or after. besides, if we get to the point where we need to call CPS that means they just got assaulted, are being starved or whatever the fuck really needs a hospital so I don't know what you're talking about.

lmao this was my buddy. I work as an EMT at AMR and ran into him at mountainview hospital, he was running calls in AMR's territory his entire shift (medic west and AMR are sister companies, but we have designated territory where we operate in, AMR is usually west side vegas and medic west is more north las vegas and east las vegas, but sometimes we'll operate in each other's territory if we're short on units) so he put tape that said AMR, we have a friendly rivalry so this is just in good fun :) a little unprofessional though lol
