Hi everyone,

Don't let private companies ruin your ability as a provider. Also, know your worth. I dodged a huge bullet by leaving my previous paid gig. They're facing state investigation and the crew in question is facing malpractice and are at risk of losing their medical licenses.

Don't let a shit supervisor, crappy FTO structure, lack of training, favoritism, and a money hungry system destroy your will.

As always, wear your ppe, no helmets while seated, wear your damn seatbelts.

It’s been a while, but last year I was fired from the company I was working for after reporting them to the state. Obviously they found a bs reason to let me go and I decided to give up EMS. Well at least I did until a few weeks ago. After trying my hand working in a few different fields I have come back to working for another company that had previously fired me. It’s honestly weird being back and totally odd that the people that I trained are “training” me. So far it seems like nothing has changed with the company, in fact it seems like things have only gotten worse. I keep telling myself that I’ll only be back for a few months while waiting to get hired by a county department, but that’s why everyone says. So here’s to another job in private EMS, and let’s hope that I don’t get stuck in the rut.

I thought life saving was a pretty marketable skill until I started working in EMS....

Getting paid minimum wage means I am cheaper than a hooker

#AuthorLifeMonth is a little awkward because I don't always have something to offer. I had no idea what to do for #swag because literally, all I have to offer are books. Occasionally I do come up with some stuff just for chuckles. Here I have a mockup of the Bristol County #EMS patch from Twenty-Five at the Lip. It's a take on the Pocasset EMS patch, and let's face it, #PrivateEMS companies aren't exactly original when it comes to their swag or gear. You can get Twenty-Five at the Lip and Bright Lights and Cold Steel on #Amazon in #paperback and on #Kindle and #KindleUnlimited. #EMT #Paramedic #IndieBooksBeSeen #nursing

Worked over a week straight last week in anticipation to going away. I dealt with breaking down multiple times, being held over every shift, dealing with shitty pts, getting banned from a facility (long story), and being yelled at by a new boss for some bullshit and then when I complained to my boss about it I was told to find a new job, So that’s exactly what I did. Honestly ive dealt with all of this stuff before (except getting banned from a facility, that’s new) but I’ve simply had enough with the company that I’m at. And so continues the cycle of the private EMS employee. From one company to another chasing money and dealing with the same bullshit. The only thing that ever changes is the name on the ambulance. Obviously this isn’t special but I felt the need to vent this stuff.

“The INFJ Medic” by James Windale A new entry on the blog is up now! “EMS is an unlikely profession for someone like me. I hate chaos and loud noises and they make me downright uncomfortable. Worse, I really don’t care for the company of the real hardcore Type-A personalities that permeate EMS…” Read more at jameswindale.wordpress.com #EMS #EMT #Paramedic #INFJ #MBTI #psychology #LochNessMonster #privateEMS #Nursing #blog
