I also volunteer to allow a volunteer agency to have ALS on overnight that otherwise would not have ALS in county. If it was not for the local fly-car or out of county ALS units, we would be in a very difficult position since out volunteer service only has 3 ALS techs.

We responded to one city and about eight towns. 20 minute response times were the norm, as were intercepts from the towns and private services if they didn't have an ALS truck available. <br><br>I came to appreciate how good the EMTs in my full time system are and how bad some EMTs that are out there are. A lot of the EMTs only called use because their protocols required it. Others used us to deal with patients that they didn't want to put up with. Ironically, there was one service staffed by cops and they treated us the best. Always glad to see us, assisted us as much as they could, never had attitudes. The full time staff told me that they never got a ticket from the cops in that town. :) <br><br>You're right about checking egos. Some of the medics I worked with where not doubt the problem, but they had caused that before I came on board and I wasn't going to fix it. <br><br>The pay wasn't good, but still I miss the shifts down there.
