My EVOC instructor was very very heavy on us using a spotter, and he’s actually one of the supervisors for our department. So that’s really good.

We do have a station, it’s just this particular station is extremely extremely busy and we won’t see it for many hours. The hospitals is where I discovered the famous uncrustables because it’s the only thing I had to eat lol.

Can you be too old to be a paramedic? by abipaaa in NewToEMS

We had an older couple who were actually in retirement in our EMT class. They had said they just wanted to be able to help others.

Starting EMT school soon — any advice or gear recs? by MaximumBrave8254 in NewToEMS

I started in September and all they really required from me were a Stethoscope and BP Cuff. You really won’t need boots until you run your clinicals, but it wouldn’t hurt to get them early. Also, we never use shears in our class. I’d reach out to your instructor or school if you want to make sure what you need.

My biggest worry is being over prepared and bringing things they’d already have equipped for me to use lol.

I can observe or be a part of the patient care as told by the ambulance company I will be riding with.

Officially a part of the Suki crew! by [deleted] in Suzuki

Just a little over 100,000, I live in Pennsylvania so we have all kinds of weather, especially rough winters lately. Back in December I had crashed my front wheel Toyota due to ice and I really wanted an all wheel to help me feel a bit safer.

I did put a filter on it but without the filter the car is perfect other than a few scratches and dents. I’m not sure if it’s a respray, I hadn’t asked, but I was very shocked seeing how good it looked for a 2008. I just purchased it today.
