Re: the Osama sighting and the dispatcher not cracking up....she sounds young enough that I can imagine her saying "Who? Oh yeah, that guy?...I thought he was, like, dead?" I swear, they get younger every year!:huh:
I worked at a private BLS company where the dispatcher was on the main floor and the quarters were above. I picked up a ticket for an ITF and the pt CC was "Comma toast"! And she eventually married the boss. No :censored::censored::censored::censored:
In additions, we all passed the NREMT exam before we took the state exam. And then later I moved to Washington and it was all worthless without a State-approved sponsor. :wacko:What a mess of a system!
I was part of the 'first' EMT recruit class in 1991, when they realized most of the MICT's (Paramedics) who had started in the early 70's would soon be retiring. We started with about 20; a few dropped out due to family or health reasons, but the rest graduated. There were high requirements...
