Friday the 22nd marks my last day at my bank job, and hopefully the last job I ever have outside of the emergency services field.
As of Monday I'll be full-time with a local private ambulance company. I'll be driving 99.99999% of the time, with a Cardiac riding shotgun and doing most of the patient care and riding in back (and therefore 99.99999% of the paperwork
).
We don't make 911 responses, since that's all municipal around here. It'll mostly be routine, BLS interfacility transfers, with the occasional ALS run from, say, a walk-in clinic to a hospital ER for more definitive testing or procedures(ie, the 88 y/o female we took from a walk-in clinic to our main receiving hospital to rule out a triple-A, and the 70 y/o male confirmed MI that was going from the VA hospital ER to another hospital for a catheterization, both on my first orientation shift!).
Don't have a set schedule yet, I'll be filling holes for a few weeks (garunteed 40 hours though). I could end up with a 2/2/4, or maybe 5 days a week, or even Monday-Wednesday-Friday 6am-7pm with one detail a month to make it an even 40 hours for each week.
Btw, we do "details" because our company is the official ambulance service of the Pawtucket Red Sox and the Dunkin Donuts Center Providence, in addition to individual events both small and large.
Anyway, I'll stop babbling now. If you're in town want to figure out which EMT I am, I'll be the one white-knuckling the wheel cause my dad has me convinced I'll roll the damn thing!!!
