Q: How many EMT-Bs are needed to change a light bulb?
A: None, it’s an ALS procedure.

Q: How many EMT-Ps are needed to change a light bulb?

Q: How many EMT-Is are needed to change a light bulb?
A: In Alabama – one; in Alaska – one; in Arizona – two, if both of them have taken a con-ed class on changing light bulbs; in Arkansas EMT-Is can’t change light bulbs, but there is a rumor it’s going to change next year; In California – just one, but medical command has to be contacted; in Colorado – two; In Connecticut, they can only assist with changing light bulbs; in Delaware, it is up to their medical director…

Q: How many EMS instructors are needed to change a light bulb?
A: It doesn’t matter; we don’t have time to cover it in our class.

Q: How many old EMS instructors are needed to change a light bulb?
A: I can do it alone, but those new guys won’t do it even if ten of them are going to show up. Today’s classes are a joke. When I was younger, everybody could change a light bulb in two seconds with their eyes closed. And then our EMS system became what it is now. What a mess.

Q: How many whackers are needed to change a light bulb?
A: Am I allowed to put a red one? Does it have to be just one bulb? What kind, halogen or LED?

At my V.F.D. 75% of the department shows up with an engine, a rescue, and pov's then we make the juniors change the light bulb.

I am exaggerating a little bit, it depends on how big the light bulb is :)
