Its the first medic class after the parish academy switched over to and collage based asso. degree course. So not alot of people knew about it yet and we pay for it now.
I know that at least the parishes around Eat Baton Rouge use Acadian for they 911 service. I dont know about the north part of the state. But as a side note EBR EMS is a great company to work for.
If the Doc is ok with it, stop in a supplement store like GNC and talk to one of the associates about some of the weight gain products and workouts that you could do to help you gain.
