Greetings!
I'm a 26 year old man with a BS in Aviation Admin and I'm going back to school for my EMT/Paramedic License. I have a few questions today regarding things.
A.) Medication and Fire Departments
What is the general standing order on SSRI's and if anyone has heard of Afiliby? If the physch tests are anything like the police tests I don't think this will be much trouble, but does anyone have an idea as to any fall out they've had with anti depressant use? Odds are I'm going to be off of both of these by the time it even comes time to test. Now, before you guys post I want you to read this disclaimer.
***********I am not interested in hearing how anti-depressants are a stigma, and how I can't handle the stresses of real life. I'm sorry for being direct, but I've seen just about enough of these forms online that really just hammer people who want nothing more than to serve their community. The rest of you all are good people. ***********************
(If I could notarize this, I would.)
B.) EMT/EMT-P
I'm a whole newcomer at this and I'm wondering what the entire process is from EMT to Paramedic. A few of my EMT friends and instructors have been telling me that once you graduate EMT, you work on a rig and build up expierence and THEN apply to paramedic school. however, I would like to start prepping for it early so I can be that much more understanding of my duties when someone's life is in my hand.
Again, I am sorry about the rant about the anti depressants and the negative people but in reality there's really no big deal to these medications. Did their job and I live a normal life. Hit me up. I look forward to talking to you all!
