  1. It is a interesting read I must say. It guarantees the city a lot and new buses 1 & 3s. Out of the 4 no maybe only 3 companies can bid. They ask for 3 years with no bankruptcies. The company is going to be sending its employees to DMV Will the company pay for the lic upgrade. I have my class E, but never have I ever had a company request. That ands money on the renewal. Vent onboard, why not. The company I work for requires this. Yes dmc2007, we are able to. Makes easy work on a arrest with little help available.
  2. Interesting, but I don't see cup holders? Wait a sec I see two. Ok
  3. Regional EMS came from when Rockland Paramedics child company now Rockland Mobile Care had taken over Elliot's Ambulance Service (Don's) company. That became Regional. ESA then acquired Regional and did a name change as HVP's then to Care 1. This was still just a dba. For the record HVP is not nor ever was HVA Hudson Valley Ambulance.
  4. The Pa Yes. Dr I do not know
  5. In NYC I had the pleasure of riding on 46W with a Medic that was also a Dr as well as a Pa that was a Medic. That was some intense shifts at John's Good luck with DOH
  6. I had been a AEMTI from 1997 till 2006 & had worked as a I at Empress as well as other locations. Yes places are still using I's & CCs. 2 of my present partners are. I tell you from experience that taking the I & working as a I is great experience & is a step to be a better medic. Yes times are changing & I am not to sure of the future of these programs. If you can find a class take it. Knowledge is never a waist of time
  7. Some of the greatest tricks in the trade I have learned from Dr. D. God Speed & Rest In Peace. My your family know of all the people you have reached out to.
  8. RIP Irene, Thank you for your time and training. God Bless You and your family. You will be missed!
  9. I would just be happy if they would allow a PO to carry while riding on the bus while txp a disruptive Pt to the Hosp. I know this just goes back to policies.
  10. The state o Pennsylvania has started a new program called "The Yellow Dot Program" The envelope will contain a file with the persons medical info & picture. This will be located in the persons car or on their person. You may see a yellow dot on the dash or front window.
  11. Health Stream, Centrelearn, & JEMs on line. Both you have to pay for unless you have Pa with Centrelearn. You can look on line at the Westchester, Hudson Val, or NYC remsco sites.
  12. Call St. Johns. 1888-STJ-2499 ask for Frank Riboni. Course 182042 just had its 1st class on Monday. Monday's & some Tues 0900-1700 at Fresh Meadows Queens http://www.stjohns.edu
  13. If you are looking for multi band radios you could look at yaseu or vertex which is the commercial side. Remember that Yaseuis a Ham radio & you do not want to transmit without the proper lic. I operate the 8900 and I love the rig. There are some newer brands out now that are cheaper & are geared for commercial hts that are also field programable. Be careful not to get yourself into trouble. If you wish to listen go scanner. If you need to transmits. Have your dept buy it.
  14. Very sorry for yours & your Depts loss.
