    Will Self-Injury disqualify me from being an EMT or anything in that field?

    I agree with @angel if you cant deal with your own lifes problems, and resort to cutting yourself idk how you are gonna deal with seeing all the crap you will see in ems. Its a high stress job with long hours and all kinds of problems. That being said it still is an awesome job if you really...

I love every single 911 call I go on. I love the job. I love every minute of it. I get excited for it and look at every call as...
