Hi all. Wondering how overweight EMTs are perceived by others in the industry...
I'm in excellent health (just had a physical, complete with bloodwork). My cholesterol levels are where they're supposed to be, blood glucose is perfect, blood pressure and heart rate are perfect, I can run a mile in 11 minutes without feeling like my heart is going to explode, and I'm stronger than the average 26-year-old female... But I'm fat. Aside from being pretty, I'm in great shape.
Is my weight going to affect how I'm perceived by my future EMS co-workers, could it keep me from getting a job? Does my weight really matter if I'm able to perform my EMT duties effectively?
