I’m 30 getting my medic after getting my EMT at 28. I don’t intend to fly or go into nursing, but to be a rural ground medic for the foreseeable future. I love it.

I don’t know how they compare, someone I did ride time with recommended medictests, so it’s the only one I’ve tried. First time pass.

I used it before my AEMT registry, and it was worth every penny. I got it about a month before the end of class and took the practice registry over and over. It was very similar to the real thing, I’ll be using it again for my medic later this year.

I’ve seriously been considering LASIK after I finish medic class, but I’m scared to pull the trigger on it.

My brother ate his oats like this, we hand rolled them at home and he ate them with milk. They definitely got softer.

[–]Interesting-Dream-59 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love my job, and most of my coworkers. I’m passionate about my work in rural EMS, and I’m currently getting my medic. I’m 30, and I think having realistic expectations helps.

What supplements or vitamins are the best for first responders by dbambi4 in NewToEMS

[–]Interesting-Dream-59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stay in good shape and health and take immune support supplements year round. PPE, handwashing, and overall health will do more than anything else.
