I was 17, became a paid EMT for the county shortly after 18th birthday. Immediately went to paramedic school, became a paid medic for the county when I was 19.
Been a medic now since 1995, so I have been doing this EMS stuff for about 16 years.
Moses and I were in Medical Explorers together and I started working full time in ER when I was 14, he went on to another career. You add the math.....
