I can remember a few years ago on my first ems ride along my "mentor" telling me how important it was to lift properly. He warned me of large beds, and the difficulty of lifting patients safely. He must have lectured me for a good two hours. The next week when I came back to work that shift he was out of work because of injury, due to lifting someone on a queen / king bed.
That said, are there any specific exercises you do in order to stay fit and perform your job well. I know many EMTs spend 12 - 36 hours in a vehicle, so I understand it's difficult, but Im wondering if anyone has any suggestions.
Thanks as always
