@medickimw @MattZavadsky $15/hr is unsustainable to live on. EMS nationwide is in a bad place, especially in rural areas.

@Aidan_Baron We do not nor have I heard of anyone in our area doing it. Would be nice.

[Joshua @JoshballzDFS]

@rbarishansky Wild that EMS is not an essential service in most states. It has been difficult to not be pessimistic when discussing EMS as a whole.

@milky_selena Weird that there are so many anti-marriage takes. I got married at 21. At 27, had an awful season of life. My marriage was instrumental in coming out of that season as a better man, husband, and father.

@moveorperish Did you feel worse before it got better? I feel like I do some releases/stretches and it gets worse a few hours later. Best I can get is very temporarily relief.

@ParamedicPicks LETS GOO!

[Joshua @JoshballzDFS]

@jakebrowne84 Uses fire inspection as a way to canvas banks. Has access to the specs of different banks and is able to determine strengths weaknesses. Best ingress/egress. Is familiar with PD response and protocols.

@FOAMfrat What is your dose/concentration for albuterol?

And would you use it independent of insulin?

[Joshua @JoshballzDFS]

@sexiplex30 @EM_RESUS Covered under the Good Samaritan act though.

As long as advanced skills aren’t performed

@Nik_Atanackovic @jasonmoore @FFHitman @andyholloway One of the best dudes out there

[Joshua @JoshballzDFS]

@ross_prager Appreciate it! I’ll just have to undertake
my own adventure. I imagine the final boss will be quite the fight 😅

[Joshua @JoshballzDFS]

@robertgmason @hp_ems Wow, well I hope that is remedied.

[Joshua @JoshballzDFS]

@robertgmason @hp_ems Yikes, I didn’t realize that was a thing. Is this for emergency calls?

We have community paramedics that treat patients in their homes with no intent to transport unless deemed necessary but that is different than our 911 response.

[Joshua @JoshballzDFS]

@robertgmason @hp_ems I definitely agree that our on scene time to arrival at hospital time should not suffer because a medic is messing around for an extended period of time without a very good reason.

[Joshua @JoshballzDFS]

@robertgmason @hp_ems Yeah, that’s pretty wild and definitely unacceptable in most cases. Unless there is an extended extrication or maybe a diabetic you can manage on scene.

If our on scene time is greater than 15 minutes, the call is flagged and you need to justify your delay.

[Joshua @JoshballzDFS]

@hp_ems @robertgmason Yes, I was referring to ALS skills specifically. Of course BLS can treat patients en route to the hospital. I did not communicate that well.

[Joshua @JoshballzDFS]

@robertgmason @hp_ems I did find one related to diabetic emergencies. That is definitely an area that paramedics and/or advanced EMTs make an important impact prehospital.
