Ambulances

Ambulance attendant is an old name for what is now known as an EMT or paramedic. In today's ambulances there are two people in each vehicle, supplemented by additional persons from the fire department in the case of a critical transport. In the case where two people involved, there is a driver and an attendant. The attendant, who is either an EMT or paramedic, is the one who sits in the ambulance with the patient until they arrived at a hospital. Ambulance drivers, who are often also EMT or paramedics, are going to be charged with driving the ambulance. If the driver is an EMT or paramedic he will take that role once he arrives at the pickup site or the hospital.

Explain that you're in financial difficulty, and that you're not able to pay the bill that was required for your hospital stay. If needed, you may have to go through a credt agency or another related agency that have skilled individuals that will be able to assist you with creating a letter. Good Luck!

When an ambulance it traveling through traffic and is in a hurry. it may sound its siren. this will cause the driver to looking the rear vision mirror. now He will see the word Ambulance backwards because that is how you see things in reflection, so by writing it backwards the driver will see the word ambulance properly and react more quickly to the situation. This is why some ambulances have this.

The Red Cross doesn't have ambulances. They do have vehicles used for Disaster and Blood Services that are usually white with red lettering and a red cross on it.

This all depends on your location and certification. EMT Average 7-10 dollars an hour. EMTA 8-12 EMTP 10-18 6 months worth of training to make 8-12 dollars an hour is worth your time. Good Luck it's a great type of work if you happen to get on a first response unit just transporting individuals to and from the doctors does get very boring at times. Welp, Hope you decide to go through with it. Best Wishes!

There is nothing special to use if transferring a patient from a wheel chair to a stretcher. Unless there is some sort of neck or back injury. You always want to make sure that you do not use your back to lift the patient and that you make sure that the patient is secure by both the medic and yourself before attempting to lift.

3 AM-BU-LANCE, a method to help you is to clap at the same time that your saying the word. Then just count how many claps you made then that's how many syllables there is.

It is possible to start a private ambulance service, and work on contract often with the local or national government. Depending on the country where the ambulance service will be located, laws may vary.

St John Ambulance as an ambulance association is reletively modern.

The history of St John goes back over 900 years ago. In Jerusalem, there was a major lack of health care. Because of this, the hospitallers of st john set up health care which currently stands today as an opthalmic hospital. These hospitallers then went around with the crusaders and provided their services to the holy lands that were set up by the crusaders.

The crusades then moved to Malta and Rhodes which meant that the hospitallers were needed in those places to help the sick and injured pilgrims and crusaders. In 1306, the crusaders set up a headquarters and a hospital for the hospitallers to work in. Because of this relation with Malta, the logo of st john is the 8 pointed Malta cross.

The order spread across all christian lands including England. However, the order was banned by Henry the eighth.

St John was reinstated as there was a lack of medical care and transport. It was used heavilly in all of the wars to provide front line medical care to soldiers. They worked closely with the british red cross.

As the work of St John became more developed, the Order of St John was re named as St John Ambulance that we see today.

That's the history in a nutshell. More information can be found on the St John Ambulance website.

The word "siren" comes from Greek mythology. In the Odyssey, the sirens were singing monsters that lured sailors to their deaths with their sumptuous voices.

Pay depends on where you work. West coast is the highest average pay, an EMT-Basic is usually the person driving and can start around 25,000/year on average. When you get experience and addon training, some places will pay them upwards of $40,000. When you get to the paramedic level, starting is around 46,000/year to 56,000/year. Most I've ever seen on a person's paycheck was $65,000/year but I'm sure there's someone somewhere getting more. For east coast, because there are many more people vying for the jobs, salaries are around 70% of the west coast. So an EMT with 8 years experience in Georgia may not make as much as a new hire in Oregon. BY THE BY: I don't know any employers who hire ambulance drivers. Never have since 1976-ish. Most people hire EMTs and Paramedics because they need to be able to treat the patient and not just drive. You don't call RN's ass-wipers, so why pick one part of an EMT's job to desribe them? Don't mean to be offensive, but a lot of responders get offended at that term just like an RN would be offended at "ass-wiper."

Blue Cross Blue Shield is health insurance. Coverage depends on the plan you buy--some cover all medical expenses (Dr. visits, labs, tests, hospitalization and so on) and others cover a portion. The less they cover, the fewer discounted services you have access to. If you have a pre-existing condition, you may not be able to buy insurance that will cover the first 12 months.

I need a paramedic = j'ai besoin d'un .... (what kind of paramedic?)

d'un infirmier, d'une infirmière = a nurse

d'un médecin = a (medical) doctor

du samu = (acronym, standing for "medical emergency services")

d'un secouriste = a first aid worker or a person trained in first-aid, (wether acting professionnally or not)

Yes. In June of 1940, the Mona Lisa was transferred to Chauvigny on a cushioned stretcher in the back of an ambulance. It had been sealed to keep the humidity constant.

In the US - in most (all?) states that I am aware of - the law requires that, on an un-divided highway, you "Yield the Right-Of-Way" to emergency vehicles.

Ambulance and Fire Truck drivers can take down your license plate numbers and you can get a ticket or fine for not yielding to them.

Yes. Medicare will cover emergency and non-emergency ambulance services if: It is medically necessary. Meaning that an ambulance is the only safe way to transport one and the reason for one's trip is to receive a service or to return from a service that one need and Medicare will cover;
