  • @MrProfire What is going somewhere is your budget, to EMS.

  • @Pmedic49 You need new material man. The sooner you ball baby paramedics realize Fire isn't going anywhere the less stress you'll carry around on your shoulders everyday. But I guess the passive aggressive paranoid paramedic is here to stay. Too bad......

  • @iPLAYdrumz1 most likely because thats how they found him when they arrived. and they would want to move him around as little as possible to prevent further injury. plus notice when they put him on the backboard, they simply lay him back on it and slide him up. it's a lot less work and less room for potential further injury then laying him on the ground, rolling him over, then rolling him back.

  • @jalen77232 Paramedics in Ontario start at about $30/hr.

  • @jalen77232 primary care paramedics make from 60 000 and up roughly

  • There was a much worse accident on that same interesection a high school student was killed by a car.

  • how much does a emt with the fire station make ??? do they have to be a fire fighter to??? how much does paramedic make i live in ottawa

  • ...If they only drove over his foot─ don't immobilize him. If you suspect a spinal injury─ have someone manually stabilize his c-spine right from the beginning. No sense of urgency at all. It probably looks impressive to the bystander though.

  • Without wanting to be one of those critics that appear on all EMS clips, this was really a very half-hearted management of the patient. There was way too much resources available (which is fine), which was not utilized. The FD could have made the scene safe with road cones, and helped move and immobilize the patient faster. While the paramedic seems to have no critical reasoning skills himself...
