An inquiry

In a past life, I was an RCDD (Registered Communications Distribution Designer....) sort of like a low voltage engineer. The test was "difficult" and it took a lot of studying to pass the exam.

An instructor told a funny (But obviously not true....) story about a guy, who put in his will that his wife would be required to maintain his CEH's in the event that someone figured out how to bring him back to life, he didnt want to go through the testing process again.

Just think about it :)

Well... the issue for me is I know for a fact that I won't be able to use it this academic year and the next two years given my school schedule and after that two years my license will far surpass the EMT license.
 
My career was Volunteer (flushing NY), and Private with (and without) County contracts (Volusia Co., FL, Santa Barbara, CA). I was always an agitator: "(firetender) was a burr in the backside of every EMS system he was part of." --- former Chairman California Ambulance Association. (on the back of the book)

In retrospect I have to say many great things were accomplished for many service areas by the fact that entrepreneurs were allowed to develop their ambulance companies. Many, many county systems evolved from such capitalistic endeavors.

Yet, and there is really no difference today, the paramedics THEMSELVES, regardless the service, have always been the one's responsible to make sure their systems are responsive to the people they serve. Because money and profit (in the form of cash or expansion) are the grease and the driving forces of the systems (capitalism is embedded in every one of our vital protection agencies), the most effective watchdogs are those in the streets.
