Hi John, don't know you just taking a shot at getting more info regarding
working as a contract medic. I am in the US. I have about 10 years 911
experience. I also teach ACLS, PALS, PHTLS for a prestigious organization. I am
done working on the "Bus". Can you recommend any places to start or
certifications that I should try to obtain to make myself more marketable if my
work experience alone is not sufficient? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Garth Gilmer

they threaten to fire me all the time but do not, ( it not because I am the best
medic in the world) but the bottom line for these private Paramedic company
there bottom line is money, so I tell them "well I was looking for a job when I
found this one, The USA is in bad mess with Private EMS, in the next county over
from where I live but do not work, the county is about the size of Inverness ,
it has 53 Private Ambulance Company's, the reason? you ask, is most of these 53
Private company's are in big competition with each other for the Nursing homes
and taking people to Dialysis's treatment. If you can get 6, only 6 Patients
with CRF and have to go to dialysis's treatment and get some shady Doctor to
write the Patient

net 1 million dollars. YES!! 1 Million for 6 patients, of course you give a
little kick back to the MD who signed the Patient needed Ambulance transport and
of course you buy the Patient a big screen TV set at Christmas and the rest you
pay your basic EMT's not Paramedics a very low wage and keep the rest for
yourself, the money comes from Medicaid (DSS) and Medicare (DLA), but as quick
as the FBI and State fraud investigator' s shut one company down another one
opens with the same people running it but this time its called something
else.Example A-Star ambulance, they got busted, changed the name to A-Stat and
had it licensed under one of the owners family members. I will sure be glad to
get back to the UK, and back up to the Highlands where my wife is from.

Hi John, don't know you just taking a shot at getting more info regarding
working as a contract medic. I am in the US. I have about 10 years 911
experience. I also teach ACLS, PALS, PHTLS for a prestigious organization. I am

Hey Wilf, Thanks for the info pointing out the differences of working on a
remote contract vs. 911. As for how I look in Camo... You looking for a date?
Thanks but I don't want to get tangled up in a don't ask don't tell policy. All
Kidding aside, I am well aware of the differences working abroad on a contract.
That is exactly why I am wanting to transition to remote work. I'm ready for a
challenge after working domestically and looking for guidance as far as the best
place to start, companies that would be better suited for an entry-level
position, etc. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Cheers to you, Garth

I was always under the impression that US -> Canada was a pretty hard
sell, because each province licenses their paramedics (differently)
and the equivalencies are not direct. I don't know and haven't put
much time into it either, just offering what (little) I know.

Hi John, don't know you just taking a shot at getting more info regarding
working as a contract medic. I am in the US. I have about 10 years 911
experience. I also teach ACLS, PALS, PHTLS for a prestigious organization. I
am done working on the "Bus". Can you recommend any places to start or
certifications that I should try to obtain to make myself more marketable if
my work experience alone is not sufficient? Any info would be greatly
appreciated. Cheers, Garth Gilmer

I was wondering where you have been hiding, oh yes in a heartbeat will trade
you my certs and digital camo for any hot Israeli Babe's phone number ! Have
heard rumour that Mosaic/ Metsada are using Canukistanian passports, so just
grease a few palms and copy my Diplomas and then we can get you new Canadian
Camo/ er registration ... well its more like a white bedsheet with cutbacks
these days .
The only concern is you would have to drop that accent ! EH !

there bottom line is money, so I tell them "well I was looking for a job when I
found this one, The USA is in bad mess with Private EMS, in the next county over

it has 53 Private Ambulance Company's, the reason? you ask, is most of these 53
Private company's are in big competition with each other for the Nursing homes
and taking people to Dialysis's treatment. If you can get 6, only 6 Patients
with CRF and have to go to dialysis's treatment and get some shady Doctor to
write the Patient

little kick back to the MD who signed the Patient needed Ambulance transport and
of course you buy the Patient a big screen TV set at Christmas and the rest you
pay your basic EMT's not Paramedics a very low wage and keep the rest for
yourself, the money comes from Medicaid (DSS) and Medicare (DLA), but as quick
as the FBI and State fraud investigator' s shut one company down another one
opens with the same people running it but this time its called something
else.Example A-Star ambulance, they got busted, changed the name to A-Stat and
had it licensed under one of the owners family members. I will sure be glad to
get back to the UK, and back up to the Highlands where my wife is from.

he might be a bit upset over the matter with the company, but like I

not, ( it not because I am the best medic in the world) but the bottom

I tell them "well I was looking for a job when I found this one, The

has 53 Private Ambulance Company's, the reason? you ask, is most of
these 53 Private company's are in big competition with each other for
the Nursing homes and taking people to Dialysis's treatment. If you can
get 6, only 6 Patients with CRF and have to go to dialysis's treatment
and get some shady Doctor to write the Patient

you will net 1 million doll

course you give a little kick back to the MD who signed the Patient
needed Ambulance transport and of course you buy the Patient a big
screen TV set at Christmas and the rest you pay your basic EMT's not
Paramedics a very low wage and keep the rest for yourself, the money
comes from Medicaid (DSS) and Medicare (DLA), but as quick as the FBI
and State fraud investigator' s shut one company down another one opens
with the same people running it but this time its called something
else.Example A-Star ambulance, they got busted, changed the name to
A-Stat and had it licensed under one of the owners family members. I
will sure be glad to get back to the UK, and back up to the Highlands
where my wife is from.

Subject: [Remotemedics.co.uk] Seeking info regarding contract medic work.
Hi John, don't know you just taking a shot at getting more info regarding
working as a contract medic. I am in the US. I have about 10 years 911
experience. I also teach ACLS, PALS, PHTLS for a prestigious organization. I am
done working on the "Bus". Can you recommend any places to start or
certifications that I should try to obtain to make myself more marketable if my
work experience alone is not sufficient? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Garth Gilmer

Subject: [Remotemedics.co.uk] Seeking info regarding contract medic work.
Hi John, don't know you just taking a shot at getting more info regarding
working as a contract medic. I am in the US. I have about 10 years 911
experience. I also teach ACLS, PALS, PHTLS for a prestigious organization. I am
done working on the "Bus". Can you recommend any places to start or
certifications that I should try to obtain to make myself more marketable if my
work experience alone is not sufficient? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Garth Gilmer

they threaten to fire me all the time but do not, ( it not because I am the best
medic in the world) but the bottom line for these private Paramedic company
there bottom line is money, so I tell them "well I was looking for a job when I
found this one, The USA is in bad mess with Private EMS, in the next county over
from where I live but do not work, the county is about the size of Inverness ,
it has 53 Private Ambulance Company's, the reason? you ask, is most of these 53
Private company's are in big competition with each other for the Nursing homes
and taking people to Dialysis's treatment. If you can get 6, only 6 Patients
with CRF and have to go to dialysis's treatment and get some shady Doctor to
write the Patient
>

net 1 million dollars. YES!! 1 Million for 6 patients, of course you give a
little kick back to the MD who signed the Patient needed Ambulance transport and
of course you buy the Patient a big screen TV set at Christmas and the rest you
pay your basic EMT's not Paramedics a very low wage and keep the rest for
yourself, the money comes from Medicaid (DSS) and Medicare (DLA), but as quick
as the FBI and State fraud investigator' s shut one company down another one
opens with the same people running it but this time its called something
else.Example A-Star ambulance, they got busted, changed the name to A-Stat and
had it licensed under one of the owners family members. I will sure be glad to
get back to the UK, and back up to the Highlands where my wife is from.
