Hello all, I came across this site while looking into EMT courses online. I was hoping with all the knowledgeable people on this site, I find help in pointing me in the right direction of what i'm looking for.
I think its important to note that I am not looking to pursue a career in this field.
I am unfortunately a paranoid person by nature and NGEO's new program Doomsday Preppers has I guess "pushed me over the edge". I have begun to prepare for the various things that could lead to mass hysteria in the US. We saw what happened after the "delayed response" in the aftermath of Katrina... Just imagine if it was a widespread grid collapse...
So what I would like to do is take a course(s) to learn what would be necessary to be a "backalley medic" (if you get what I mean) for my family or group if **** really hit the fan.
I have very limited knowledge when it comes to the medical field and I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for. BLS? EMT? Both? Something different? Also knowing that I do not plan on a career in the field, is there a more cost efficient course I can take? Whether it be uncredited or some type of equivalent civilian course?
Any assistance is sincerely appreciated, Thank you
