Firefighter starting EMT-B

[JoshMM]

New guy here. Never thought I would be here tbh. Medical stuff was never my thing at all. I was a deputy sheriff for a few years and had no desire.

A year ago, I changed careers and became a firefighter. I love it. As I started responding to suicides, accidents, the occasional head torn off (crazy call), I guess I slowly transitioned from being comfortable with trauma calls to really curious. I have become interested in being able to respond better and decided to dip my toe in the water with my EMT-B class.

Wish me luck!!

Good luck to you! I think you'll really enjoy it. ^_^

I just finished up my EMT-B cert last week, and I had a lot of fun with the class, learning the material and going through the skill drills, and doing my EMT and ER clinicals.

Good luck with your studies.

As an EMT-B you may or may not be doing too much in severe traumas, but our system is different up north.

Good luck!
