Thanks! And believe, I have been. I've been in it for about 4 months, I'd say. And I love it. Attended I believe, two events so far. Was unable to to the Cope Course, because I wasn't signed up with the program yet, still in process of getting accepted. It's fun, I enjoy it. Next Wednesday, is...

Thanks! Yea, that's kinda what I'm in- A class that is from 7-usually 9 or 9:30; so far at my two meetings, the first we did Splinting; and then last week we did Patient Assessment sheets.

Okay, thanks for simplifying it. I'm not very fond of needles; so, I kinda like doing research on the recommended/ what to expect from my doctors. And yeah; I didn't realize how many vaccinations I had between 1994 and 1995. Before I was even age 1; I had 17. That is kinda..Freaky/scary; which...

Okay, what does Titer mean? And what is the Chest x-ray thing about? I'm not in EMS yet; preparing for ride-alongs; when I hit 16 in sept. Just doign research on what to expect prier to it before-hand. So; I don't know anything yet.

Welcome to the Forums! I'm not even into the EMS field yet, lol, but I will be enrolling into a program when I turn 16 this fall.

Yeah, no need to do that now. I quit. It was my newyear's resolution. I haven't smoked for 18 days; which it was amazingly easy, if you asked me.

Sadly, i do smoke. But, on Xmas, I'm taking my money and buying niccotine Gum, and quitting! 8D

Okay, thanks. Night, try sleeping off a headache. I got it soon as I got home from school. ><

Yea, I do grind my teeth. Depends, i try not to, instead just chew the inside of my gums/lip to stop myself from cursing sometimes at school. Many of my friends tell me I'm Bipolar, and I try as hard as i could to stay calm.

so, tension headaches are stress related? And okay, what is OCT medication?
