Is it ever possible to have a BLS Seizure? Does every seizure patient require an IV?

Very general question here (for Paramedics). Do you ever feel like it's been a waste of time to spend three years taking full-time courses in college to make less than 30,000 dollars a year when those with a GED can make twice that working on an assembly line?

This is such a stupid thread, and I know it, so please try to forgive me. I'm a great medic. What I am not great at is directions. My biggest fear about jumping into an EMS job is not in treating patients or anything of the sort. It's being able to get where I need to be. So. How big...

Anyone else use FISDAP currently, or previously while training? If so, can you briefly describe what kind of statistics you ended with? Did you meet the default goals?
