Ambulances

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 pompier / des pompiers = a fireman / firemen (they are trained in first aid)

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.

Eee- Aww! Eee- Aww! Eee- Aww! Eee- Aww! Eee- Aww!

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;

An ambulanceman is a man who is the driver of an ambulance or a member of an ambulance crew.

Yes, ambulant people can walk. The term "ambulant" refers to individuals who are able to move around or walk independently, typically without the need for assistance or mobility aids. This ability is often associated with general health and mobility, allowing them to perform daily activities and navigate their environment.

St John Ambulance is an organization that operates in various locations, so it does not have a single postcode. Instead, each regional or local branch will have its own postcode based on its specific address. To find the postcode for a particular St John Ambulance location, you would need to look up the specific branch or office you are interested in.

A paredemic is a person who works in a ambulance team.

That's called the "Doppler" effect, named for the scientist who explained it.

You're standing still, but the train or ambulance is moving toward you. The horn or siren is going. The sound waves go out in every direction, at the speed of sound (about 750 miles per hour, depending on atmospheric pressure).

As the train is moving TOWARD you, the sound waves that it generates are being pushed together, because the train is moving too. We hear the effect as if the frequency of the sound waves is pushed together, increasing the frequency. As the train passes by, we hear the "Doppler shift" to the lower frequency, because how the train is moving AWAY and the sound frequencies are stretched out. Now we hear the sound at a lower frequency.

If we carefully analyze the Doppler shift, we can determine;

1. Exactly how fast the train was moving

2. How far away the train was when it passed by.

Police use the same thing; you're driving along the highway, and a police officer points his radar gun at your car. The radar gun is precisely calibrated for frequency. The radar waves hit your car and bounce off, and the Doppler-shifted frequency can be used to calculate how fast you were going.
