I'm taking over EMS. I'm turning it into a national organization, and renaming it The EMS. New uniforms will be issued, black shirts and trousers, with a big yellow EMS in capitol letters emblazoned on the back, an American Flag on the left shoulder, and a Department of EMS patch on the right. Each and every member of The EMS will be trained as a Paramedic.
All ambulances will be black, with a million flashing lights and reflective materials. In place of sirens Metallica's And Justice for All will play on a continuous loop. The interior will be comfortable, and each and every unit will be identical, and kept to the standards set forth by The Department of EMS, as directed by the director. Equipment will be state of the art and provided by the federal government, and distributed through the network of police and fire departments in each jurisdiction.
There will be no rank in the field, every crew member will be equally proficient in all areas of emergency medicine and transport. New members will be trained at CIA headquarters in Quantico, Maryland, in a newly designed EMS training facility. Only when a candidate successfully completes the training will he or she join the ranks in the streets.
When a person calls for The EMS, a response team will be sent, the emergency sized up following the newly developed 911 Emergency Call Directive, patients triaged and treated and the appropriate agencies notified. Fire and police departments will be under the direction of The EMS, and will carry out the commands of The EMS without delay. The EMS will be ultimately responsible for the patient that needs emergency care, as dictated by The EMS on scene. Those patients who called for The EMS and had no reason to do so other than to take advantage of the altruistic nature of our land will be issued a citation and fine. Those unable to pay the fine will be placed into a pool of candidates whose primary purpose will be to provide comfort to The EMS, and clean The EMS quarters and apparatus. When offender has successfully completed three (3) bodily fluid cleanups they will be released, and the next candidate will begin their sentence.
Applications are now being processed. Salary upon completion of the obligatory eight month indoctrinization program will begin at $85,000 annual salary, with full health care (15% co-share of policy) matching 401K, three weeks vacation time and four uniforms, which will be replaced at the rate of one every six months. Sick time will be allowable under similar criteria of the 911 callers directive.
Please send applications to me, at this address for consideration.
Thank you, that is all.











It's a pay cut, but you know I'm in! I think I already have the uniform too!
I'm in!
Do you take Canadian applicants?? I'm in!
does a license have to be… ya know, current?
When’s the first plane to the States???
This its great!!
Let me know when and where, contrary to Happy it's a pay raise… of more than 2x what paramedics make over here
I can start yesterday.
Sign me up. I’m heading to quantico now.
15 years experience and an objectionable attitude…..good for counterpoint…mk
Nearly triple my salary as a paramedic!
I can only assume we're doing away with Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and the Departments of Agriculture, Education, Commerce, Interior, HUD, and DHS to pay for it all?
I wish we could carry firearms and issue traffic violation fines too.
YES!! Agree, agree, agree!!
And when is the next class? I'm in!!
Sorry Mike. I'm way too old to qualify. However. If you need a "house mother/mascot" to provide brownies and pats on the back? I'm in. LOL.
Thank you for supporting my delusions, training begins soon!
I am SO in. This is awesome!
I work in The EMS. It's very good. We need more people, but obviously, it' s a long way to move across the atlantic
I'm in too!
Sounds like we could start a New World EMS Order!
All kidding aside, the frustration from the people who work in EMS is awful. I posted this at five or so on a Saturday night and within a few hours had a dozen comments and a few dozen facebook shares, three times what usually happens with one of my delusional posts, even on a workday when traffic on the blog is gigantic compared to the weekend.
Wage discrepencies, fire based vs private, lack of any real consistancy-no wonder nobody takes us seriously.
Happy Medic has a real plan, EMS 2.0 that deserves a real look.

Hi Monique, some days I have all the answers.
Is Psilocybin legal in RI? Im just askin'.
I invested heavily in the seventies, every now and then a flashback occurs.
can i be the abuse enforcer?
You were my first choice!
how do you apply
Seriously, Medics only? I'm only an EMT-B student and I want in as well! (Stick me on the transfer bus if need be, I don't care about doing 911, I want in on this!)
me too!
I'm totally down!!!
I am so in and will simulation be required during this 8 month training period
I am in and a medic. where do you want resume sent to?
Each rig should have stop sticks that you can drop out behind the rear wheels whenever someone is tailgating.
I think we should call you Supreme Commander and I will be available with18 LONG years of burn out! LOL I think I can get a recommendation from the OTHER Capt……js
Where do I need to send a resume? I am in.
Hillarious!
My husband and I want in. He's a medic with 26 years experience. I'm an intermediate with 6 years. The pay there is more than what we make together. Two suggestions: add a machine gun to the ambulance for those that wont get out of the way, let us carry firearms or give us body armor since we're always getting shot at in our area. Lastly, make all people working in the ER spend 72 hours per year on the ambulance so perhaps there'd be more respect and understanding of our side, not to mention getting them to stop calling us 'ambulance drivers'!
Where do we sign up?
Done! As soon as I take over Homeland Security signups will begin!
hey u should add a special response team, we'll have tactical gear, carry m-4's, and ride in high tec vehicles and respond to those special calls , it'll be kinda like "EMS SWAT"
I'm in..
you take foreign candidates? Im english fluent =D
Plenty of room! Thanks for all the comments and facebook shares everybody, it's good to know people actually read these ramblings!
I'm in!

@EMTGoose
I’m not in EMS, but I’d certainly support the plan, so long as you could carry firearms when necessary!
