Are you an Ambulance Driver? | EMT | PARAMEDIC | EMS

The dreaded term...Ambulance Driver
Biggest mistake I see in new people is becoming knowalls and not showing respect to senior staff.
Hey. Greetings everyone. Breathe air. God made everything. His son, Jesus, pardoned all of all wrongs.
I needed this!
@2:55....It's a bummer that touching yourself is frowned upon. That's an activity that I'm partial to.
I know this job can have a massive suck factor, we all feel it at points. I hope you're taking care of yourself man.
Kinda funny how taste buds are. I can't stand redbull but love monster.
I don’t think I changed,,, the job did.
I was in EMS Paramedic for 25 years and was constantly called Ambulance Driver through out my career
I'm getting really serious with a woman who is currently working as an EMT/rides in an ambulance. Videos like this provide me an insight as to what I'm getting into. So I appreciate this video, man. She and I have wildly different careers, too. I'm an archaeologist. Right now, I'm trying the best I can to understand her professional situation and have patience. She's exhausted all the time, and sometimes her responses are really random, but I'm figuring things out slowly. If you can make another video on the topic, I'd watch it.
Ambulette is such a cassevac wholst ambulance is for medevac

Possible flashing lights warning
I was a volunteer firefighter EMT and I couldn't tell you how many times sarcasm and pranks made the day better
I have a funny story about this actually: So when I was in EMT school, we had to do 4 clinicals. During my first clinical, we picked up a guy who was nearly deaf. He could hear, but he couldn't hear well at all. He was a much older fella, probably in his mid to late 70s. The Paramedic was talking to the EMT and the pt couldn't hear what the Paramedic was saying, and being that the pt was facing away from the Paramedic, he also couldn't see who he was talking to. So when the pt asked what the Medic said, I told him what he had said, and added that he was talking to "the driver." About 5 seconds later, the Paramedic said, jokingly, "he's not just the driver, he's an EMT, good sir." I wasn't saying it as a way of disrespect, but I thought if I told the pt, "he's talking to the EMT," he would get confused and be like, "aren't you the EMT?" and then I'd have to explain to this borderline deaf pt that I am not an EMT, but rather a student. So instead of using the term EMT, I just said, "he's talking to the driver" so that he would know I meant that the Medic was talking to the guy who is driving. It was a complete misunderstanding and miscommunication that I definitely learned from, despite the Paramedic's joking demeanor when he corrected me. Lol.
Lol won't do the GPS one...even if I know where the place is I still use the GPS when I'm just driving in day to day life.
Ok, but the superstition thing is true. I was never superstitious until I started in EMS and the day I accidentally said the "Q" word was the busiest day that I've ever worked. I will also get the craziest calls on full moons.
I agree. I tested the theory once. On a full moon, I said it was Q…. About to eat and boom it’s like the world exploded.
Thank you for this!!!
I once didn't hold the other end of the cot as it was coming off the truck.. Almost caused the cot to roll in the road.. 😅 Won't do that again! Good thing AIC was understanding about it..
Even as a 30yr vet Emt paramedic. We all forget it from time to time. Lol omg we can all laugh seen it happen feathers n nose jobs. .😂. Stay safe n remember to be humble /ethical n open to learning everyday till you quit /retire. 👨🏻🚒 thanks Doc
1- becoming an EMT 2- staying an EMT 3- EMTs can't count that high. Trick question.
Your screen name says THAC0. You know you had to have your calculation game up lol
@RescueRandy lol no one gets the handle. you javelin passed the first test...now for the Dragon fight lol
FYI a blood sugar of 25 is 1.4 for people in UK, Canada, and other places.
1.4? What’s the measurement?
@@RescueRandy 25 mg/dl = 1.39 mmol/L Or 18 mg/dl = 1mmol/L
Gotcha. This is why I liked running this channel. I learned so much from you guys!
@@RescueRandy I value learning new things as well. I love how your channel is educational and hilarious at the same time. I just noticed some people were confused in the comments. I wanted to help out with the math.
idiot
This is an awesome video, thank you for making this and sharing it with us. It takes one to become this to recognize it. I hope you are doing well for yourself brother.
Thank you!
One thing I’ve noticed with my partner is his laziness I wish that he would clean up after himself when I come over. Everytime I come to see him theirs always Pizza Hut boxes everywhere and he never wants to go anywhere and it seems like every time I go back home he gets mad that I have to leave and keeps asking me to move in and when I ask it’s always because his schedule I’m supposed go see him this weekend and I feel like I should have some sort of discussion with him about his habits but I don’t wanna say anything that’ll make him mad
You posted twice about this dude. Leave him and be happy.
I think this helped me a lot. I am a video game developer and I am dating a emt he’s super sweet when I’m in front of him but when I leave he gets angry and has asked me multiple times to move in with him I know he doesn’t mean to not have empathy when he comes home. dealing with the attitude is hard but I really love him
No dont deal with that, find someone who is kind to you no matter what.
When a nurse calls me an ambulance driver, I call them a doctor helper.
In New Zealand they say Ambulance Officer.
I was helping the medic in the back set up the iv bag, I poked a hole in the 3 different bags before getting it right...and made it rain on the patient ;)
Wow. Well people like to splash water on people to wake them up. We’ll call this a weird version of that lol
@@RescueRandy Little bit of waterboarding never hurt anyone 🤣
Why do you not make videos anymore 🤔
Just been endlessly busy. Finding time to make videos is challenging. I’ve also been gone too long. Not sure if I still have an audience anyway.
@@RescueRandy I get you, thanks for replying.
@@RescueRandy hey I'm still here. But I get it, EMS is a niche audience. But the people who watch it definitely appreciate it as content creators are so few 🥲
@@kavenkocke3653 the support is incredibly appreciated
@RescueRandy It's because of that other guy, isn't it? I watch both of you, though I enjoy your personality much more. You don't co e across as arrogant and a bit narcissistic. Plus, the other guy NEVER stops yelling. I have to literally turn my volume down very low w his videos- and I already have partial deafness from years with the siren.
Ser saan Pwd Mag trening ng rescue
Don’t clean stroke patients that vomit and shit themselves. Transport immediately
Bro what’s salary in us for emt? How long people should study for it?
Depends in what state. It varies. EMT class is roughly 3-4 months
I continue to be surprised that people call 911 and don’t turn on their porch light (a real pain in a rural area!) AND, apparently, nobody has lights on in the room
the illumination from the TV is good enough lol
Not paying attention to patient complaints on positioning seems like a mistake you'd prefer to only make once but I see it constantly and it urks me. Like bruh this old geezer just said her hip feels better with her knee up and in a little bit. Let's get rolled up towel or blanket under there so this woman can be a little closer to comfortable.
Good call. This was so frustrating when we still had longboards and collars
@@RescueRandy Only seen a board used once so far. Seen a handful of collars though.
Yeah the board and collar thing was taken out of NYC protocol. We still use them but more for just moving and then we take them off the board
@@RescueRandy Yuuup. Especially old people that got that hump.
"No Kill Yourself" lol
EMS emt's average salaries about 50 Grand a year I'm a truck driver Class A that delivers Dave's Killer Bread and my salary is $1,500 to 1600 a week which is a little over $70,000 a year. I don't have to look at blood.
But there’s growth potential in EMS. Also, depends on what state and type of EMS system you’re in
Thank you rescue Randy you have a pretty good Channel I'm working on my thousand subscribers. anyways I'm a truck driver since 2004 and I say you EMS people are pretty funny just like the truck drivers. Cheers from California
Be safe brother!
That’s not healthy
i wish make nature soda drink less sugar on the coca coke i wish cut down 25mg instead 39mg.
I quit drinking them back 2011 i use drink one monster,fury blueberry,rockstar,nos every once a week i was on them from 2007-2011 one i drink half nos the blue orange i couldn't go sleep at night and 6am to 10am people use them playing video games and brain power.i stick with sodas or teas.
I put the glucometry test strip on backwards and tried to put the blood on the chip side when I first did my actual blood sugar check and when I realized it I felt dumber than dumb. Lol
Never done that. I can see how it could happen though
+1 to that.
Haha it’s spreading
I'm so happy ours gave like a rectangle on one side and a T shape on the other. Just slip it in the glucometer partially, wait for my aemt or medic to hand me the used iv needle, push the strip the rest of the way in, and push the little spongey bit in the back of the needle to get a drop on the tab.
Definitely have forgotten to detach pts from on board air while they were wearing nasal cannulas..about 3 times 😬
🤣🤣
I actually got a cardiac arrest save on my 2nd day on my "new hire 3rd rides" it made me whole week I didn't even know she made it until I got an email 3-4 months later saying she was discharged from the hospital in good neuro standing. Definitely the best moment of my short career. I'm dreading the day that arrest turns into a peds arrest. 😬
Congratulations on the early save! The latter is definitely one of the toughest jobs we can ever do. Just do your best. Remember, we have all been there and got you if you need to talk. Be safe.
@@RescueRandy Thanks brotha! You definitely right I've had a couple but nothing crazy (fortunately) the worst was a dog bite. I will say about cpr for anyone else viewing this randy is 100% right about it being alot of work doing cpr. The only good thing is that after a while the ribs and/or ligaments/tendons (idk which one or both) breaks as your doing cpr and it does get a little easier over time. In any case thanks for getting back man and I appreciate it. That's definitely one of the best things about working in this field is the amount of people willing to help/ lend in ear is staggering and beautiful.
My first actual shift on als I forgot to grab the computer. I'll my previous als shifts I were 3rd rides so I don't need to do a report. So I got the hospital and my partner was like "you get your signatures?" And I was like uhhh...all no. 😄 it sucked and I got made fun of for it but the report still got done. I start my medic 3rd rides this Sunday so I'm hoping I got all the mistakes out of the way. Wish me luck
Mistakes will happen. You get a free pass when you’re new for those little things. Hopefully you’re good to go now lol. Best of luck.
@@RescueRandy thanks for responding randy! So quickly too, I appreciate it. Fortunately, I've gotten more experience and last als shift I worked went well so I'm optimistic. The biggest challenges I think I'm gonna face is remembering med dosages/what to ask and taking my time. If I remember I'll post an update for you and the internet. Thanks again man, you definitely just got a new subscriber!
Thanks! Honestly there’s no shame keeping a little book of protocols and such. Quick reference guide. The rest comes with time
Awsome drinks huh.
Starting my emt job in less than a month. Excited, but nervous. Thank you for the tips and pointers ^-^
Stay metal 🤘
I'm enrolled in the Spartanburg County South Carolina EMS Academy starting Jan 2 . I'm a US Navy veteran of ten years , with eight years sea duty and two years shore duty as an MP . I'm still nervous about becoming an EMT and passing the NREMS exam .
@@victorwaddell6530 you got this!!! Best of luck to you on your journey
@@Dark_Horse_VT Thanks !
There’s was this one time I was on a ride along during my EMT class, this is recent probably like 2 months ago, and on my first “shift” I worked with a paramedic, not even a few hours in the paramedic I was with he circled around the same deli three goddamn times, am I crazy or it’s just how it is lol. And no he didn’t stop and go in he waited in the bus and drove somewhere else to stop and eat somewhere. I said in my head “this paramedic literally circled the same deli three times and didn’t even walk in, what the hell is going on with this paramedic. Again am I crazy for thinking this or he’s the “weird” paramedic. As an FYI I had fun with the paramedic during my ride along and learned a lot a lot from him, he’s one of the good ones in that agency and cough cough it was Empress. After the transport you know we have like an half an hour to stay at the hospital, well there was this nurse that I thought she was pretty had a crush on her, I saw her multiple of times too cause we had to transport a few people to the same hospital, she seemed very sweet and was nice to the patient unlike some nurses that are just terrible. She did seem like a nurse you would want to work with cause of how she treats her patients. Sadly though I didn’t get a chance to see her on my next ride along, would really love to see her again, welp looks like I may have to break my arm or need something to cause a hemothroax just to see her again lol.
We all have a quirks. If driving around the deli 3 times is what he had, that’s not so bad. Ah yes..the favorite nurse.. 😍
Great job! Thank you 😊😊😊 keep up the good work!
Thanks so much!
