Giving an Applicant an Interview or Ride along is the first most important part to make sure that the applicant can show their medical knowledge and their location skills.

You will have access to using Helicopters depending on the situation or location of the patient for when someone calls in for Life Flight Service.
This could also be used to transport patients if an Ambulance is far from an hospital which gives the patient a very high chance to survive depending on the patients condition that (s)he has suffered.

7. COMMANDS ((OOC))

/LSFMD :

This is the command you will use often to get your gear at the lockers. Every hospital and HQ has a locker. so you can run to those lockers and type /LSFMD. You can:
Go on duty or off duty
Get weapons, Kelver and First aid kits
Change your skin dependant
Become a civilian

/R :

The radio is the prime method of communication within the LSFMD. It allows you
to talk between your own members in the LSFMD and the members in the
other divisions. As we are an emergency service, we depend heavily upon
the radio to respond properly to emergencies in Los Santos. It is for this
reason that spamming, (( long OOC conversations )) and flaming will not be
tolerated in the radio. It is used for proper communication with the higher
ranked members when required, and for the higher ranked members to be
able to properly give commands and receive necessary information from
members to be able to function correctly as the most popular emergency service.

For this reason, anybody who abuses the radio in ways such as mentioned above,
and does not stop after being warned by the highest rank on duty, (( Whether IC
or OOC )) will be eligible for disciplinary actions and/or kicks.

/D:

This radio is a link between all the departments and allows communication with them. To be used only by R3+ members. The lower rank members can only use this in emergencies or with permission from a Higher rank.

/M :

The megaphone command gives the things you say a longer distance to travel, and is yellow noticeable. You can only use the megaphone for RP reasons. not to shout out "Hey!" to your friend in the distance. Abusing the megaphone will be subjected to disciplinary actions, rank down/kick. This is normally used to tell traffic to give way when you are transporting a patient. such as, "LSFMD emergency. Please carfully pull over to the right!"

/HEAL [ID][$40] :

LSFMD members can heal any person with 99 Health or below. Although this command is a direct way of healing, I suggest you RP the situation and just use this for OOC healing so that the person is under no more further threats.

/GETPT [ID] :

This command is used to recieve patients when a distress call is issued. though it can also be used if a patient hasn't given a distress signal. but you know they're dying and have thier ID. it will direct you to their beacon, The place that they are dying. and upon arrival, if thier health is below a certain point, They will get their health back so you can perfom emergency life saving techniques to them.

/LOADPT [ID][Seat#] :

This command is used to load the patient into the ambulance, The syntax for it is /loadpt [id][seat] where seat bust alwayse be 2 or 3. The driver seat is seat 0. while the passenger seat is seat 1. That is why these two cannot be used.

/DELIVERPT [ID] :

This command is one of the easiest ones. Once the patient is successfully loaded into the medical vehicle your drive to a /deliverpt point. (indicated by a heart).

/LISTPT :


This command is used to list patients who has send out a distress call..

/DISPATCH :

This Command is use to send units over to control who accepts medic calls. Use by R3+..

/MEMBERS :

Members of the Los Santos Fire & Medical Department may use this command to see all of the members in the LSFMD.

/INVITE :

Members who have Leadership may only use this command, when you /invite [Players ID] it will send the a message saying you requested them to join the Department, when they accept they will be put into the Department as Rank 0 (Probationary)

/UNINVITE or /OUNINVITE :

Members who have Leadership may only use this command, when you /uninvite a player they will be removed from the faction, their skin will be set to a random one and they will lose all of their LSFMD abilities.
