Help with finding protocols PLEASE!

[medicv83]

Hey, if anyone can please help me find NY state ALS protocols I would really appreciate it. Im moving to Buffalo in a month, and have a good line up with Rural Metro so far. I really really really would like to get a head start on BLS/ALS protocols, I just cant seem to find them at all online.

Now wait a minute... if you're moving there, and you have a job lined up, why didn't you just ask your future employer to send you a PDF copy of their protocols? Seems like NY doesn't have unified ALS from the quick googling I've done... may be county specific.

I think that's why the DOH for NY didn't have anything under paramedic/ALS. Also you could PM asysin2leads and ask him to send you a copy if he's got one... or Richard EMT-B...
