I'm a firefighter and an Advanced EMT for the Augusta Fire Department. I love my job and everything it entails. My passion for my career has been built up since I was a little kid, and is now finally paying off. There's nothing I would rather be doing with my life. I have amazing friends that I wouldn't trade the world for, and they keep me going through some hard times. I'm pretty content with my life, and plan on keeping it that way!

Taryn: How's the beer?
Me: Beery?
Austin: It's beery good!
That awkward moment when you tell someone you find dead bodies all the time, But forget to tell them you’re a firefighter beforehand.
Commence the awkward stare.

So my mom just got the bill for the ambulance that took me to the ER for my knee, and that shit was over $2,000.
What. The. Actual. Fuck.
If I knew it was gonna be that much, then shit, I would’ve dealt with the pain. It’s not like they did shit anyways, I popped it back…Wow. I know healthcare in the states was expensive. And I work in EMS but for some reason I never put the two together.
$2,000?! Really?
If you’re a citizen it’s roughly $45 for a necessary ride to the hospital. Still only $250 for an unnecessary ride.
No increase if we give mess etc. craziness!
How high do American ambulance bills go?My ground service is a min. 800$, services rendered increase the bill considerably, you don’t want to know the air flight cost.
EMS transport is a minimum of 700 dollars here.
BLS is $600, ALS is $800, LifeStar (AirMed Choppah) is $15,000 or $20,000 just to warm her up and get the rotors spinning.
I’ve never even inquired about how much our airmed costs. I think it’s safe to assume it’s near yours. I don’t even like to think about it.
