  6. To the Frank Becerra family... I wish you all the best in your time of need.. May god watch over you and your family.. You are in my prays thru this difficult time..
  7. Well being that this was my house I would like to say something. I would like to publicly said thank the New Rochelle Fire department for stopping this fire, There professionalism was outstanding, as well as how nice they were to me and my family. I would also like to thank New Rochelle Police Department, for being so understanding in the fact I now can not park in my driveway, and also I would like to thank all the people at 60-Control, especially 607 who dispatched it, This is just one of many bad things in my life right now.... I would like to thank you all for you ongoing support.
  8. Do I agree that, some agencies need to improve EMT medication skills, along with Pt assessment skills? Yes I do, but so does every medical professional here, You can never learn to much, when it comes to EMS. EMT's need to be looked at as the starting point in a career, Not just some one who can carry Medics bags, or turf a Drunk person, who you know is going to Vomit all over you.. ( ) Also EMT need to step up and ask there senior partners or Medic Partners to further there knowledge of EMS.. Like I said before, You can never learn to much about EMS..
  9. This is one week in the year where it's all about EMS... I would like to wish all my fellow EMS workers out there, Happy EMS Week.. Any agency doing anything special for there EMS workers this week?
  10. Ummm Interesting... What's the starting pay like?!?
  11. I know that this may be old news to some ALS providers on the board here, but I found something very interesting. I know for a fact that Empress EMS was one of the first in the Hudson Valley to use CPAP in the EMS setting, and I must say, for the CHF and COPD'er out there, it is a great tool to have in our bag of tricks. I know that the Town of Mamaroneck is starting to look into it, and I was wondering once the Westchester County REMAC approve's it. How many people out there would use it, or would you think it's to time consuming not to metion it suck O2 like a hurricane...( I thought that was funny ) Also I was doing some research on the subject, and found that PA already has this in use, as well as letting EMT-B use it as part of there BLS protocols... Here's a copy of it, and I must say they are very detailed on what an EMT can and can't do, among other things...
  12. I have split the questions about EMT being to Medic depenant have been move to the following topic. EMT's being Medic depenant Please use the link above for futher disscussion. Thank You
  13. I couldn't agree more... but let's try to keep on topic with the CPAP disscusion. If you want, we can start a new topic on EMT's and how is it a good thing or bad for them to have medic's with them...
  14. Thank's to ALSfirefighter, for giving me a website (ems1.com) to learn off of ( Thank you ) I came across this artical. I thought we had it bad in the US. http://www.ems1.com/managers-supervisors/a...g-health-system So to all you out there, do you think it's right to put Paramedics in a hospital setting, as doctors?! I know that some people refer to paramedics as street doctors, but this is something else. What legal problems can come of this? Are paramedics in the down under, higher trained then ours?
  15. While I do agree with your line of thinking here, I would like to throw a curve ball here... Don't you think that having paramedics in the ER working would have a greater impacted, on there skill's. What I mean by that is, They can read more difficult EKG's, or learn sign's and symptoms of something they might not incounter in the feild as often, but would be able to know how to start treating it? ( I don't have an exmaple of the top of my head, it's just a what if. )
  16. The title is self explanatory.... Here are some photo's of Hawthornes apparatus..... enjoy... Eng 155..... The department's Fire/Rescue.... Middle Pump Panel... Very Cool
  17. Great concept, but what happen's when it comes time to transport.. Are they a ALS/BLS FR agency, or will they transport in there own ambulance?!
  18. Thank you... Maybe one of them could be good enough for the feature photo on the .com....... will see..
