Man. I love your stories so I'll share one too. My dad has been working for the Frisco (texas) Fire Department for 20 years, as an engineer and a fire safety clown. 2 years ago when making the set for the clown show, he tore his ACL and another tendon in his right arm. He had SO much sick time and vacation time that he saved over the years that he stacked an impressive 1 1/2 years of it. He took some of his sick time and went to the hospital to get it checked out. They didn't help at ALL, but he still had to go to his city doctor. And a long time later and after lots of doctor visits, he tried to get an MRI but he didn't get approved TWICE. He finally got an MRI and that's when they figured out he tore his ACL and rotator cuff. He saved enough money for an ACL reconstruction surgery and that made him able to move his arm more. The doctors said that his rotator cuff could not be fixed (from what I remember). Somehow, our neighbor tore his rotator cuff too so sometimes they'd give each other advice. He still could not lift his arm above his head, and what he DIDN'T know was that he was supposed to apply for disability with the city's insurance, so he waited too long because the city changed insurance companies, so he was kinda screwed. He had gone to physical therapy 180 times and then stopped. Only ONE person texted him 'get well soon' or 'goodbye' or ANYTHING like that. Sick-time donations were a thing but nobody donated sick time to him! He applied multiple times for disability but never got approved because of the insurance, and was about to run out of sick time so he called IAFF (International Association of Firefighters) a labor union, which labor unions don't have a lot of power in Texas. He requested his lawyer and they said they would call him back. He had 4 days of sick time left so he didn't have a lot of time. So he waited, but nobody called him back! The city literally didn't care about him. By the way, he's doing great now, loves making brisket, and is near his 50th birthday.

Considering this man knows everything in that ambulance when I only knew maybe three of those things!!!! Great work

Thank you for a great video and cometary. I currently work for a local funeral home as a transfer/transport person. We are going to get one of the clam shell back boards because it is so much easier then putting the person on a back board or what we call a soft board, which is a heavy duty material sling which has handles that we can put a person on. The man spoke briefly about dead weight. We experience it all the time when we have to lift a person from the floor or ground to the cot/gurney that is about eight inches off the ground. Normally its the really heavy men and women (250 to 300 pounds) which are the hardest to move. I do not work much with the paramedics but do have to call the Fire Department to help us with the heavy ones or ones that are stuck in the weirdest places.

He's wearing a station shirt as well, but he way he described it threw me off. Anyways beautiful ambulance. Our BLS ambulances are not as fancy with the CAD mount (ours are integrated), as big, or as equipped. Ours are more basic with a basic portable suction device (handheld), and no LUCAS; however, ours does have an electric lift that helps our backs. We are trained to use glucometers, albuterol treatment, and CPAP, but it is not required to have in our area since ALS will have that, so we don't carry it. Very cool stuff.

Can you answer a question about the onboard computer? During an emergency call is there any color codes on the computer screen that denotes emergency pursuit or such? I imagine there'll be red signal going off on the dispatch pane. I am trying to determine if an ambulance had a real emergency or not. I caught a picture of his dashboard including the computer screen and there were only yellow and green panels visible. EMS here in NYC fake a lot of emergencies just to get through traffic which cause many drivers to ignore them all.

When several compartments offer so much un-used space, why not design a more compact ambulance? 7:10 interesting that you have a Lucas on your BLS ambulance; We don't have them neither on our BLS nor ALS Ambulances, but only the Emergency Doctor Cars have them on board. I first thought it would be an ALS unit at your station, as for its size and especially the Lucas, but then I was surprised to only see an AED and not an ECG like Lifepack15 or similar; But we have only an AED on our BLS units as well, while both the ALS and Doctor Car carry LP15 17:20 interesting to see that you have your first-in bag on your stretcher and not like in the first compartment to the right; We hardly ever take out the stretcher when first walking up to the patient, we only do that at retirement homes and airports
