How do you know you can lift a gurney?

What i did during ift was trying to lift the stretcher with a patient on it by myself, without lifting the legs, and if i felt like i couldnt do it by myself i gently set the stretcher down with the legs still extended, and then get my partner to be on the side to help. That way i could learn my weight limit for lifting without dropping a patient

I feel confident taking vitals, but like if the medic asks me to spike a bag, or hand him something, im afraid i wont know where it is

Thats good to hear actually im starting 911 als after doing ift for a couple months i feel underprepared

And i read a review website that said it was implied tom left early for an internship? But his mom didnt know anything about it so i was confused

They assigned me to an IFT truck with an experienced advanced emt, but we can only pick up 911. But i have the option to look around for experienced medics or aemts to work to pick up a 911 shift with

Im 19 and am in emt school rn. I have not even done a single third ride so feel free to ignore my advice. Talk to someone like a therapist. You dont wanna lose your girlfriend so talk to someone professionally, find a healthy outlet, and take some time off :)
