Those are some nice thoughts, Dr.Parasite. But here in reality, we can't devote 100% of our time to work. And people don't always just choose to have other things just as important as work in their life. We can't just go to work, then just sleep until our next work day. We have things like...
I've had both a normal DVR, and Tivo. They really are great. With tivo, there are a lot more features that not everyone will use, but the ability to pause and rewind live TV, as well as record and save TV shows and movies from any channel is.. well, I can't imagine life without it.
It is our responsibility to be well rested, before we even start a shift? That's not always an option. In fact, for most people I know, it's damn near impossible. I guess you don't, but some people have other things to do when they aren't at work. It can't always be: Sleep all day, then stay...
I'm not sure if any shots are required. I'm not certain about privates or hospitals, as my ambulance runs out of a fire company, but not only are shots not required, they aren't allowed to suggest them. I asked an EMT instructor I know from a county over about it and I voluntarily got hepatitis...

When I started my EMT-B class, I was the only one with no existing medical or emergency knowledge whatsoever. And I still managed to pass with some of the highest scores in the class. I felt the same way you did when you started, but the medical knowledge thing isn't all that difficult. I...
I've seen an incredible amount of middle aged, obese male EMTs around here. It doesn't seem to matter what age or gender you are, as long as you get the job done professionally.
So I just passed my EMT-B class on the 5th (February). Now, the state practicals are scheduled: practicals on the 10th, and written on the 23rd. Only problem is, I don't turn 16 until the 28th. After my course coordinator and I worked on finding the best solution, we came to the conclusion that...
I'm currently taking my EMT-b class, and two days from now, from 8 to 4, I have my vehicle rescue class day. Since most of the people in my class are part of a a fire department, they will bring their bunker gear. I, on the other hand, have nothing to wear. It will snow about half a foot, and...
