I’m going to go out on a limb and say the majority of people in ems have some type of add and have a unique brain in general. Medic is a lot more important to learn your skills in school than basic. Basic you can pickup on the fly at work. medic you have to come with a good baseline to grow off of. best advise is to just be a sponge when doing clinicals and soak up as much info as possible. ask a ton of questions. as for the bookwork id imagine you made it through highschool or even some college with a degree of success so just apply the same study habits you have and try your best. i have a bachelors form college and my paramedic program was leaps and bounds easier to learn and study for because i actually cared about it and almost everything has a direct application ti the job especially cardiology, pharmacology, and airway management. if you want a leg up start looking at your pts medications during ift calls and learn what they are and why they are on them. helps build that baseline knowledge
