While employed as a Full-Time Paramedic with EMSA, we were also responsible for maintaining our own Medic Bags assigned to us. Supervisors would randomly inspect medic bags to insure that all equipment, and meds were properly cared for, all of my inspections were above standard.The call volume provided an accelerated approach to paramedicine, and a entry into Critical Care Medicine where multiple IV pumps were utilized for patient transport, as well as ventilator care was provided with more advanced transport ventilators.
