I've been an emt for almost 2 years now. I have worked 911 a bit with orange county fire, Laguna Beach fire and with low Angeles county fire. And so far, I have yet to drop an opa, npa, bag, or use suction on a 911 call. Every once in a while I splint, or backboard or wrap a wound. But seems like I get to use my skills more on critical care transports (where I bagged, deep suctioned, etc) than in the 911 side. Maybe it's cause fire beats us to the scene majority of the time or we arrive at same time. Also I realized majority of 911 calls don't require an ambulance, or any intervention really at all. Anyways, how often do you get to use your skills where you work???
