Boston area, anyone wearing a puffy winter coat it is usually filled with down or some other sort of fluff

I'm not actually scared of the needle itself, and I'm ok with watching someone else get stuck. Recently I got a blood test and had a little vagal response, my blood pressure dipped and my hr was like 30, didn't pass out though. I'm nervous for medic school if we have to practice on eachother...

Lifting tests I believe are required by all ambulance companies. It was part of my pre hire physical at the doctors. Different companies do different stuff as far as pre employment testing goes. Some companies just call you for an interview and that's it but others like Cataldo require you...
