Then be a EMT-Intermediate. I know in some systems EMT-B's can't even use a glucometer. But if you want to give meds, IM is the least preferred method. Go to school and be an Intermediate or Paramedic where you can start IV's and give meds.
I think that's the big issue right there. In my perfect world, EMS would diverge from IFTs (who would be free to develop their own curriculum which better matches the needs of people with chronic illness not experiencing a medical emergency) and the entry level would be something, scope wise however with a proper education, between an I/85 and a I/99.
