To be honest with you I Resent the fact you undermine my abilities to provide medical care to those in need. I find it repulsive and appauling. What medical care do I provide? What kind of question is that? There are many different procedures and medications...yes medications that I can...

I am not saying the ALS is useless. I am merely trying to state thst BLS is not useless and that I still feel they are essential. Some places do not have the funding to have ALS. Difference in pay is significant. Where I work it would be a $10/hr increase. That is a lot for some services...

I think it is finially time for me to have my rant! I am tired of reading that EMT-Basics are not as important...or not as respected by ALS...or this that and the other thing. That is the BIGGEST load of @#$% I have heard. How many can actually tell me they ONLY took the EMT-Paramedic course...

I love coffee. Me and coffee are one with each other. I will never part with it! MDKEMT

I deal with a large amount of chronic alcoholics where I work. A lot of them have a history of cardiomyopathy. I have had a few of these calls like you described and I would say about 95% of them are a cerebral bleed of some sort. The increase in resps. is what tipped us off the most. MDKEMT

What a tragic event to happen. My deepest sympathies to the families and friends. MDKEMT:P

Enjoyz....Is this your way of telling me I need to stop drinking my 41cups record of coffee in a day. Today I am still on cup #1. But on average I drink about 12 cups of coffee in a 14 hour day! I love every sip! And absolutely no problems sleeping after I drink coffee as well!! Bonus!:P...

I this is true. Fact is if your employer wants it they want it. If you don't want to do the test don't work there. Like any job you know what you are getting into be an adult and decide what you want. MDKEMT

Holy smokes I would die. Here at PCP level which is a litle higher then EMT-B you start out at $19.86/hr and max out at $24.68/hr. MDKEMT

LOL! Yeah...my intructor decided that we were going to practice our CPR. He decided to demonstrate how NOT to do CPR....lets just say it involved pieces of the mannequin flying in the air...very comical...these pics were enjoyable! Laugh was needed! MDKEMT:P

If you are worried about funds being tight just do it at home. Be diligent though. You can go for walks and runs....lift weights(soup cans...paint cans...milk/juice jugs) Be creative. Push-ups, chin-ups...sit ups...all work really good. You can do this. And it will take as long as it...

I thought it was kinda funny. No problems reading it but I am use to proof reading. English major will do that! MDKEMT

See for some reason this would tip me off to make you do a drug test. This testing isnt about hurting your feelings it is about protecting employees and patient safety. I would worry if my partner was using because he/she might be the one driving or the one who has to administer a drug to a...

What does it matter anyways? Drug testing... I agree with Jon. If you have nothing to hide whats the big deal. If you do then you shouldnt be taking care of people. Any job I have ever started at I have pee'd in a cup semi-witnessed had blood drawn and had to fork over a criminal record...

I kinda want to give my opinon on that just cause you said you didnt want it!! :P

Don't put yourself down. You got this far don't give up. The physical can be tough but if you prepare for it you will pass the next go around. Go to a local gym and start lifting weights. There are some great at home excerises you can do as well. Here is a website you can check out...

That is definitally interesting. I think he was showing his ego off. Even though it is a private parking lot Emergency Service workers are granted this places for a reason. Parking at a fire line is normal practice where I am from. I would have told the security guy that he was out of line...
