    Call 911?

    I would have called.. after all they can always be released after an eval. There's really no harm in calling when they don't need it, as opposed to not calling when they do need it... :wacko:

    EMT-B online classes in Atlanta

    1. Don't take online classes. 2. If you really want to start, pick up some A&P books and start studying. 3. Call local colleges that offer the EMT-B course and ask what you can do to get ready, or when the next course is, or if you can start some online A&P courses.

    Ever get mistaken for a police officer

    Does traffic control count? And this was at a standby event with NO need for ANY time of traffic control. Get a lot of security questions when doing standby. Oh, and a pilot once.
