For one, medical advice is a no-no here. For two, they'll give you pain meds, most likely nasal spray for a migraine. If you're worried, talk to your Dr.

No worries, dude. I'm doing calculus. Hence being on here. Mental breaks are a wonderful thing. Ride-alongs.. Well for me, I put in 100+ hours (just because I could) and only had 5 or 10 calls, all refusals but two. I had rollovers, head vs. windshield, possible attempted suicide, whatever...

Oh boy.. was it what I expected? Well I have an odd intro to EMS. I got hired on a private BLS service when I was 14 doing office work, filing, detailing rigs, or whatever else they told me to. I was enrolled as a chem/bio double major with spanish minor at Indiana University and decided being...

So did mine. ...on paper.

Nope. You're supposed to be 18 here too, but talking to your instructor can do wonders. I had been working with a private ambulance service (and still do) in town since I was 14 doing little things like office stuff, detailing rigs, whatever... That helped. Anyway, there's nothing that says you...

When I started my basic class, I was a 17-year old senior in high school. I was in 15 clubs and 3 sports that year taking class at night and working whenever I could fit in hours. Boy, was I nervous! I think we all are, but it gets repetitive. I finished top of class and have worked for a...
