Wolfee,

Not meaning to be rude, but one way that we, whether EMTs, Paramedics, or

even, God forbid, attorneys, make our impression is through our written

communication. When your emails are full of incorrect word choices (to instead

of

too, for example) and misspellings, even the best ideas can look bad. Please,

use a spellchecker and/or a dictionary.

When we make efforts to be professional, the results will shine through.

I'm sorry that your service doesn't treat EMTs with the respect that they

deserve. I hope that you will use this as a learning experience and further your

professional education to find a fulfilling career.

Best wishes,

Wes

I am soooo sorry that I have upset the spelling goon..LOL.. No

problem I thought the Hotmail spell check thing was on. I guess it

wasn't No problems.. I plan on and getting my NRParamedic patch as

soon as I can the only thing is on an EMT $$ wage I don't see it

anytime soon. I am right now living from paycheck to paycheck I can

hardly make my rent sometimes. But hay what is they saying we don't

do this for the money right???... well see yall later my son is

looking for some mommy time..

Wolfee, the secret is to make the Paragods believe that any new ideas are theirs

and then they will be properly implemented. The other part is to stop whining so

people take you seriously. Constant compliants will make others ignore you no

matter what. Third...good ideas are good ideas no matter the source and if the

people you work with are too obtuse to realize this then you need to take your

happy self to a service which will appreciate you .

Problemmmmssss

the problem I have with my company is (i am not going to state the systems

cause the educational cord. is on this list) I get paid 7.35 an hour the

401k the company doesn't contribute. EMT's don't have annnnny chance of

promotion the educational part is geared only around paramedics... they

treat the emts only as muscle and not brains.. There is NOOO emt fto dto or

any part of managment. Oh and god forbid if we have an idea we get shot

down.. but if the paramedic has an Idea the go with the idea with both guns

blazing.. I am not shooting paramedics (I want to be a tactical paramedic)

place but damnit EMT's are humans to and we have feelings....

Tom, I totally agree with you.

And Wolfee, I agree with you, too.

It's unfortunate that SOME " paramedics " still have that mentality. Maybe they

didn't work their way up the ranks. Then, maybe they did and feel now it's their

turn to treat others unprofessionally.

-----------THAT SUCKS!!!!!!!!---------------------They need to help those future

paramedics be paramedics! I knew what it was like to be treated that way, and I

have never treated my PARTNER with disrespect. Although, a few emt's tried to BS

us with " yeah, I know what to " , but were quickly shown " the real thing!

I've been a paramedic for 18 years, and started out as an ECA for a Volunteer

group!

Good Luck!

I work with good BASIC EMTs on a daily basis. They are awesome. Some of them

have been in EMS since Noah's Ark, and some used to be Paramedics but let it

lapse for better jobs, some were medics in Nam and did heroic things on an

hourly basis that I could only dream about. We all work as a team. There's no

tension, conflict, or jealousy between us. We all do what we can do, help each

other, and get the job done.

There's no place here for egos. Forgeddaboudit. Put your ego to bed. The

greatest fun is workin as a member of a dynamite team where everybody does their

best and the outcome reflects that.

Either you have experienced the rush of having been on a team that did an

awesome job and saved somebody's life or you haven't. If you have, you know

what

I mean. If you haven't, seek it out and look for it. It'll blow yer socks

off.

If an experienced paramedic sees that a situation is not life threatening he

should for the experience of the emt allow him to render care to his level

and supervise this allow the emt to gain experience, if need be the

paramedic can always step in and upgrade the level of care if needed an emt

is an entry position and supports the paramedic not a slave level I have

worked with some emts that I would rather work with than some paramedics who

are only there for the pay if you are an EMT I say thank you for a job

Weldon in providing care to me the paramedic who could not do his job as

well with out you.

Bingo!

I'd trade my left arm any day for a good basic, and more than one of them

has pulled my bacon out of the fire with a quiet look or a swift kick. There

are many, many reasons for why different people attain the level of

certification they do. I was lucky in that I had both the time and money to

commit to becoming a red patch, and along the way, I had to explain to more

than one paramedic that just because they started paramedic school before I

did, didn't mean they were smarter than I was. If you treat EMTs with

disrespect, the chances are just about 100% that eventually you will do

something dumb and wonder why everybody is just standing there looking at

you like you are an idiot. The EMTs will then gather and laugh at your

stupid ass behind your back.....except you will know exactly what they are

giggling about.

If it is any consolation to the EMT's out there, you are not alone in

suffering such abuse. I have on many occasions seen the same situations

occurring on 2-medic MICU's. There is always the guy who feels that his

month of seniority with that particular service, or his 6 month

seniority as a red-patch entitles him to push his partner around. It

has nothing to do with the patch. It has everything to do with the

personality of the jerk. And yep, most managers tend to ignore it and

support the senior man regardless of the injustice. Welcome to EMS.

Enjoy your stay.

A buddy of mine recently used the phrase " every now and again you get to give

death the finger and that is the best moment of your career " No matter where

you lie in the scheme what color the patch et al. is a rare and great moment.

You know, there have been a lot of posts about paramedics treating EMT's bad and

such. There have also been a lot of posts lately stating that a good EMT saves a

paramedic's you know what at times. Which is absolutely true. I think we are

forgetting that unless you wear a patch that says Licensed Paramedic, and I do,

the patch you are wearing says EMT-P meaning that paramedics are still EMT's

too. Let us not forget where we came from and that we are all a team in this

arena of EMS. Like someone said, " There's no place here for egos. "
