[QUOTE="Rumpelstiltskin, post: 169758, member: 22503"] [b]"Not Paramedics"[/b] Typically any ambulances that are hired for special event standbys are just basic level ambulances from a private E.M.S. Co. They just have basic E.M.T.s which are not paramedics, and they're usually right out of school with no experience. Any Joe blow can be a basic E.M.T. with only a couple months training whereas Paramedics are trained in 1-2 years. The capabilities are much different. Basic ambulances can only do basic splinting, bandaging and C.P.R. They cannot give meds or anything. Next time look in the rig, there's nearly nothing in it. Paramedic trucks are the one's equipped with the heart monitor/ defibrillator, drugs, and other E.R. like stuff. Experience is big factor in the quality of care you receive by an Ambulance crew. Typically it takes a good 4-5 years before they're really proficient but because of the shoddy pay and working conditions turnover is very high, at least in private E.M.S. Full time F.D. based E.M.S. is a different story though. They're well paid, well equipped and remain on the job as a career so they get the experience. [/QUOTE]
