There is a loophole to skip the line pm me for details

Apply as a service unit you'll make it in pretty quick

Maybe it pays to move out to Monticello for a period of time, join the midyear Catskill division and then push your way towards downstate hatzalah

This is an actual strategy that many use.

DDF pull 😜

I'm going to assume that it's a sincere question, but I got to laugh. Are you really from Brooklyn and asking this question??

Sounds like he's from out of town...

[Galitzyaner]

What's a brisk? I am sorry not following

This questions sincerity and instead raises suspicion. Regardless of its irrelevance...

I think it used to be If you're a paramedic it was be much easier, don't know about nowadays.

[Something Fishy]

raises suspicion.

I wouldn't go that far, but it's... interesting. The thread title is also a bit strange IMO.

Are you serious about a loophole?

I was recently told that they are getting rid of service units and his a full time employee.

To confirm I did not want to man the buses, I made the mistake of stating the wrong position. The position I was interested in, I believe they are called service units.

A service unit is someone who cleans, restocks, and gasses up the ambulances.

The guys who drive their own cars (called fly-cars) are either EMT-Bs (EMT Basic) or EMT-Ps (Paramedics)
Hatzolah only uses EMT-Bs and EMT-Ps


Main levels of emergency care

First level is a CFR/EMR - Certified First Responder - Can start CPR
2nd level is an EMT-B - EMT Basic - Perform basic life support including CPR, AED, administer O2, handle open wounds, deliver baby.
3rd level is an EMT-P - Paramedic - they can administer Advanced life support (read EKGs), Intubate a patient, administer drugs, start an IV.

I'm sure I'm leaving some stuff out, someone here want to fix my descriptions?

Is the obsession with Pros/Cons thread genetic?

Got my EMT certification in the summer of 1994. Joined the East Side (where I worked) in Feb 1996. Joined Boro Park in late 1999 and retired in February 2008.

Just curious: would you offer medical advice if someone asks at a Pesach program, or would you refrain?

I would just offer medical ethics advice about another doctor...
