I know EMT is a good career and great HCE for future jobs (like ER tech and PA, which I would like to do in the future) but I'm wondering if there are some things that would hold me back, namely my disabilities (I don't claim disability or anything)
I have scoliosis (can't remember the curve) I know a lot of EMT's have back issues so is already having a back issue just asking to screw it up even worse sooner?
My corrected eyesight is 20/30 in my left eye and 20/200 in my right, nearsighted with an astigmatism in both eyes, my eye Dr. Advises against night driving since everything looks like TV static in the dark (obviously this would make me a liability as a driver at night, I would think)
I have minor cerebral palsy that makes my arms and leg muscles tighter than normal.
I'm also like 5'7" 110lbs and never been much of an active or fit person, which i think would make me pretty useless at lifting and of course being an EMT would change that, probably.
I also don't have my permit or license mostly because driving scares me. I have an ID though. I'm gonna assume that will be the first thing I need to fix.
So...is it a good idea?
