What can I do to get hired in PA while Im in the Medical Marijuana program for critical health issues. I have Chrons disease, gastroparesis, I have had 2 feeding two in my abdomen for 11 years and a port for 8 years. I've tried multiple times without and I would be too ill to work, in my mind the program has brought my health to a point where I can do more. The biggest issue is I can't even volunteer somewhere. I have the skill, the drive and passion for this line of work and I'm always hearing about the need for EMTs. When I am over here being told I can't help people because of my medical conditions. Its extremely hard for me to understand why they can't even let me volunteer. I shouldn't be judged for what I do on my own time at home, I understand the worry for the person showing up for there shift high as a kite. That's not me if I need the medicine that bad then I am too ill to work that day. I would never risk a patient's wellbeing, as a chronic illness patient I know that I would be furious if I was taken Care of by a stoned first responder, so I'd never do it to anyone!!! My rambling question finally is what can I do or say to get hired without having to hide important things about myself, I'm not okay with that. This is my dream job and in October my license will expire. I have been working on this for two years I haven't given up yet and I don't plan too!! I shouldn't be discriminated because of my health issues. Any help or advise is truly appreciated!! P.s. Thank you to all those working keep our communities safer, I wanna be like you guys!!
