I am hearing that there are going to be some changes with regard to EMT-Bs in Kentucky. Something along the lines of getting rid of the EMT-B and replacing it with EMT-Advanced something or another. Today, Google is not my friend. Does anybody have any info regarding this change?

Hope ya’ll are ok.

No I get it just fine, buddy. You will have to forgive me as I may not have been clear. The reference to the ’not-so-godly’ is actually a reference to the State and its agents. It is clear the state is supreme and offenses against it are held in higher regard than are others. I just choose to...

Well why didn’t you say so? Sorry Mr. Auto-mechanic and UPS delivery driver, though you wear a uniform and are a valuable and productive member of society, if someone kills you, we are going to punish them less. You see what our uniform indicates is that we are a more valuable societal asset...

:rolleyes: You still elevate the worth of the “uniformed” person above that of one of the lowly, less heroic and not-so-godly, commoner types. That’s crap.

:wacko: Well I have to admit that I went on a 3 day celebratory drinking binge in celebration of my new status, which is why I am responding so late! But now I am finally sober and in addition to the migraine, I find I have been the BUTT of someone's April fool's day joke! Now I am depressed...

You mean an EMT is no more important than John Q. Citizen? We should be glad about this. I mean, I disdain this idea of one life being worth more than another. I think it is arrogant.

I am in the same boat too and am interested in following up on this. I really want to become a Paramedic. In no way do I want to stay at the EMT-B level. The question for me is one of responsibility. Is it somewhat irresponsible to be so advanced while yet so inexperienced?

Those are my old stomping grounds. The lake is the only thing I really miss about Ohio. And Cedar Point is amazing. Had season passes for years and went at least once a week on my summer breaks. Then I grew up and it ruined everything.

:sad: How terrible!

I have not yet fleshed out my thinking on this matter. However, I am in general agreement that I would rather lose my job and my license because I violated company policy than get killed by some idiot patient. I can always get another job. Another life on the other hand.... I guess the key...

I have a strong desire to move to the Northwest Territory of Canada. I love it. I love the cold, the darkness, the northern lights, etc. I hate the bugs, though, but I guess it is a good thing that summer only lasts a couple of months or so before the big freeze settles in. ^_^ I will become an...

Big deal... I got attacked by an insane goose the other day. Damn thing wanted to fight. :P
