THe REal Reason you became an EMT-B

[GoingLoud]

For anyone looking to get into being an EMT-b..please remember its just a stepping stone. You want action...be a medic.

EMT-Bs mostly do transfers, dialysis runs, and taking old ladies home from the hospital.

Why did i become an EMT? so i can chill out with a dvd player in my lap and eating free hospital food.

 

[csly27]

well I definaltly love helping people even though most of my pts dont even realize what is going on. Kinda sad really but at least I know that I am doing my part to make people a little more comfy. Also the free food is an added bonus I never knew about till I started working.

I understand helping younger people. people who actually NEED assistance.

For example, i know a crew that got called to a house for a tooth ache.

I do runs for people who are so demented that they don't even know what a human being looks like anymore!

These people are circling the drain and suffering in ghetto *** nursing homes with bed sores the size of dinner plates. These people should have died years ago, but thanks to medical science they are now living in agony 10 years past their mark with out a clue on what it is to exist anymore.

Who do you think you are? Wow! Someone that has passed an advanced first aid class has knowledge enough on whom should live or not. Good thing medical ethics is based upon several factors.

i was going to go into Fire Academy. class was full. sent me to EMT. found out i like medicine more.

 

[Hoofguy]

Needed a job where I wasn't locked up in a cubicle or office, was different everyday, had little supervision and had an occasional rush of adrenaline. This job fits every one of those.

The volunteer department I joined is having me go through Fire Academy. They said as of last month it's mandatory. What a great time to join. :wacko: I can't complain though, the more training the better. I told em to bring it on.

I grew up in the fire/ems service and stuck with it. Plus, I spent a lot of time in ambulances and hospitals when I was a kid, so I guess I never left.

I'd say it's because I like people, but I really can't tolerate most civilians.

i became an EMT because i love to help people, i need it to become a medic, and i love running calls (i run on an ALS truck) we run from between 8-16 calls in one 24 hr shift which i love doing and i love driving code 3!

 

[medic417]

Anyone that loves running code 3 is a danger to themselves and the public. Probably 99.9% possibly more get no benefit from a fast run to the hospital. Plus it honestly saves almost no time.
