You will learn more about EMS doing IFT than 911: I did both for 8 years and I enjoyed it.
You will transport people who are unresponsive, and that is their normal state: people who are fun to talk to, people that will hit on you (sexually), 95 year old lady would try to grope all of the male EMT's who transported her.
You will learn a lot about medications and medical history and how they react together. I caught a few patients who were having a reaction to new medications and old ones. Find a app for your phone that will let you enter medications and tell you what the side effects are of the combinations of the medications: Enter the meds in order of how long they have been taking them, and watch the medical issues grow that they are having.
I loved doing out of town transports: based in Indianapolis I went to 13 states to pick up or drop off patients: it was great. I loved long distance transports. I went to every hospital in the state of Indiana, and probably every nursing home. I went to 50% or more of the hospitals in all the surrounding states. I went to every VA hospital in 12 states. I lived for long distance runs: Had a manager ask why I would do it, and I told her it was because there was no managers around (she was driving for me that day to Chicago) and I didn't have to deal with dispatch, lol).
