Guest guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Byron: Yet another reason to form an association of remote health care professionals, the question remains just where does one start ? cheers Wilf Fraudsters!! Good day all, I would like to share an experience with you all and would like to expose companies who literally rob you or steal your hard earned salary. Six months ago I was offered an increase as a medic in the team by my ops manager and today I am out of a job for taking good decisions in my life. It is all about the FPOS and MIRA course which CRG wanted me to do or forced me to do. Now I would like comments on this topic, good or bad if possible? Now as a qualified liscensed paramedic, with enough experience to run remote clinics on my own and I was forced into doing both courses. Over a 1000 pounds sterling was deducted from my last salary to attend this course through Ex-med which I refused to do or attend. The reason being that I am liscensed. CRG paid Ex-med for a qualification and experience which I already have and refuses to re imburse me. Not only is this MIRA course 1 week, but these guys who qualify will be allowed to treat patients. Not only was my flight medic course 2 weeks, but the CPR course is almost a week. They wanted me to do a course in which I was already qualified and refuses to give back my money. They also wanted to humiliate me in the presence of inexperienced members who are calling themselves medics. Please comment I will appreciate it? Stay well out there and be safe.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Hi all, I am not angry but feel humiliated by what they wanted me to do. I am qualified and with over 15 years of experience. The worst thing is that they just deducted the fee of over 1000 pounds sterling from my last salary. This is what I did in my career. 1. Seven years as a combat medic with 7 Medical Batallion Group in the South African Military. Where I deployed in deep remote areas and anyone who knows 7 Med can vouch. 2. Three years as a civilian with Netcare 911 ambulance service and as a Close Protection Medic for NSA, where I was part of a team that protected Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates. I am not thumb sucking this!! 3. Then for the past 6 years in Iraq and as well as a stint I did for six months in Indonesia. I am a qualified paramedic with a license and I can post my license on the site. Then I am qualified as a flight medic, diver medic attendant and a diving chamber operator. My flight medic course was 2 weeks long alone. You all have a safe deployment out there,but this is who I am. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hi, Â No my friend. At this stage they do not even have a clinic or place where there top clients can go to. They have nothing in place. Â Just to give you an example, if 'ny G' gets ill, they sent him home.

Maybe you can check-out: http://www.irhc.co.uk/ - they seem to be the closest to any such attempt in so doing...I am a member and I think the potential for more collaboration and lobbying on remote medics' behalf is significant.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Without casting aspersions, but is organising a good idea here? Reputation is the difference between hire or bench time in remote medicine. Many employers can get away with a lot of things offshore or in unregulated countries, irrelevant to where they are based.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Because I empathized with your position, I didn't want to make a negative statement, however since you still seem to want a response, I would just suggest taking it as a life lesson and moving on. It's easy for even experienced persons to get sucked into situations that don't turn out like they expected. It sounds to me like either you didn't do your homework on the new job/company (I'm not really clear if this was a position change or company change) and found a culture that sucked. Unqualified " medics " are a fact of life in the contract industry, and if you are the only guy with the right letters after his name it's no surprise you're treated like shit--it's in the unqualified guys' interest to make you look bad or ostracize you. For " mandatory training " an employer can tell you to do anything they want. In fact, they CAN require you to pay for it as part of your contract OR contingent to being offered a position. They can require that I present a Red Cross First Aid card, and its up to me if I want the job enough to pony the cash or if I'm so insulted that I tell them to pound sand. The only control you have over that type of stuff is if you do business with them or not. With regards to being screwed on pay, given your hooah resume, if you haven't already experienced it, you should know at least three guys who have. Some companies play games all the time, some are pretty straight, and it's hard to tell sometimes the difference. They will ALWAYS interpret anything to do with money in their favor. Your one last option is always to try to take it to court. I don't think this usually works out well, but I don't know your jurisdiction or what protections you may have from whatever government you may be under. If you have a claim, you may want to make it--assuming it doesn't cost you more in money, time or reputation then you want to invest. Essentially, you've been around enough to know that some days are just a big shit sandwich. Pick a condiment of your choice and start chewing. Hopefully things will turn around shortly.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 On a slightly lighter note reference fraudsters. I had an unusual experience earlier this year. Like most people on this site, I've taken over many a piss poor sickbay. You know the type - oxygen out of date, no clear records of treatment, drugs unaccounted for, equipment broken, dirty, - the list is endless, but the one thing in common is that they were all 'run' by trained medics. I was on a vessel earlier this year, having taken over when the previous medic had been kicked off when it was found out that he was not, in fact, a medic. The irony was, this was, by far, the best sickbay I have yet taken over. All the kit was in date, records were kept of treatments, clear records of drugs issued, spotlessly clean and extremely well laid out.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 No, but assuming that my professional medical providers are medically trained, as I do, I most certainly am concerned about records, clean and working equipment, in date drugs, etc. If 'trained' professionals can't provide that basic standard, it speaks loudly about the standard of the 'training'. I kind of thought that was Tony's point. Cheers GL From: stu wilkie Sent: Saturday, July 02, 2011 4:54 AM remote Subject: RE: Fraudsters!!

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Well assuming the Medics are medically trained then I completely agree with all comments/points made, regards Stu From: gosta@... Date: Sat, 2 Jul 2011 09:21:05 +1000 Subject: Re: Fraudsters!! No, but assuming that my professional medical providers are medically trained, as I do, I most certainly am concerned about records, clean and working equipment, in date drugs, etc. If 'trained' professionals can't provide that basic standard, it speaks loudly about the standard of the 'training'. I kind of thought that was Tony's point. Cheers GL From: stu wilkie Sent: Saturday, July 02, 2011 4:54 AM remote Subject: RE: Fraudsters!!

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Stu, The point I was making was that a non medic appeared to have more pride in his environment than some professionals. It was not a comment on his, or others, skills.
