I was harping about subject selection and looking at the poll about how long folks here have "been in EMS", and realized that I can't find a poll about basic demographics of my co-denizens.
So, what about it?

EMS, so easy a child could do it!
 
Silve you caught me. Now I have to go back to recess.

It was a convenience, I know we have teenagers logging in and wanted to get them represented. I've known some fifteen year olds who could BS as well as many of the rest of us can..certainly spell as well!;)
 
"It worked fine and dandy. You have like 12 answers!"

One female. Yikes.:sad:
Need to market this on chat I guess.
 
32 respondents, vast majority male

Any more lurking about?

A vast majority on this website are male. Although women have broken in and done a kick bum job in EMS, it's still a widely male profession. At least in my area!
 
I see many females running EMS around here.

AMR sems to be mostly female at times, but oddly the crews they send to our jail are usually all male.
Fire EMS tends to be one female per six person response.
(Nursing: since forever can't seem to get past the five percent mark for males who stay past school).
I guess Bossycow, Airway Goddess and the others might be in the "this is silly" category?;)

I know BossyCow has been busy with her sick husband. Maybe the others think this is silly?
 
I'm actually 12. I just look old for my age so I fooled everyone and they gave me my cert. Did I mention I was also extra smart so I'm a junior in college too?
 
WarDance, I once knew a guy with a Master's at eighteen.

And an EMT. He brought it in on a bet, before computer printers etc. Navy snapped him up.

Personally, I think that the women in EMS often do a better job than the guys. I like the one male one female crew thing. Seems to work in every scenario I've been in when I have a woman for a crew partner. Sometimes I wish I have had one. :P (Eg: Me and my male partner arguing silently on scene over who has to do pt care on an OB call, pt is nervous because here come two, big, over 6'2" tall guys to "help" her, oh and by the way one of us is going to ride in the back with you and no, your husband can't ride back here.)
 
You know, if EMS is such a great career...

how come the numbers drop off as you get older instead of easing off or staying steady?

People grow up eventually.

Although obviously not all of us.

I think people feel more comfortable with women, in general. OB or not.
