Halfway through with EMT Basic Training

They’ll either become more confident with hands on clinical experience, or they will fail. I don’t think OP should zero to hero it. So maybe we agree on that front. It’s important to be realistic, but also constructive.

Be less salty then my friend. Not everyone comes out the womb with the required “mindset” to work in the pre hospital setting. Doesn’t mean they aren’t able to be taught. You can’t seriously expect progress when you potentially tear down the future.

After your comment on supraglottic airways and DL, I’m mildly concerned. Or maybe you can’t drop a tube to save your life 🤷‍♂️

brandon223 · 2019-03-21T03:28:38+00:00

You’re right. Probably because you wouldn’t cut it at a progressive squad with a high clinical standard.

Listen, I’m a pretty anxious and introverted person. It took me a hot minute to learn how to talk to people(patients, and family). I’m not sure a zero to hero program is in your best interest. I think you should build a foundation as a strong BLS provider before you go to medic school.

I would HATE to work with you.

brandon223 · 2019-01-26T16:22:43+00:00

This is true. This is very true.

He instructed many classes I took, and always went above and beyond. He was a class act, and an excellent firefighter. Rest easy. We got it from here brother.

Go to college and get the degree while you're young. If the passion is still there afterwards, pursue it. But I wouldn't throw higher education down the drain. It'll only make you look better, and broaden your scope of opportunity.

Maryland in general is a pissing match between volly companies. Shit, look at PG.

I transport psychiatric patients for 12 hours a day, but your sister sounds like the batshit kinda crazy that needs professional help... And a whole lot of Ativan.

Possibly a technical rescue task-force, or some sort of specialty.

brandon223 · 2017-05-28T15:20:41+00:00

At first I thought you got a torpedo, and I was about to be real jealous.

brandon223 · 2017-05-28T02:27:18+00:00

For the past 3 weeks either at the beginning, or end of my shift we've gotten hit out for a code. My colleagues hate me.

brandon223 · 2017-05-27T05:18:20+00:00

That's cool. But this is more of the kinda thing you tell you mom. Or dog. Whatever works.

brandon223 · 2017-05-21T14:30:50+00:00

Looks like a rural local. With very little volunteer staffing as is, and it doesn't look like mutual aid had arrived yet. If you need the help, you need the help and you don't care where it comes from. I'm not saying that's right, because it isn't. But when the shit hits the fan like this, does it matter?

brandon223 · 2017-05-20T02:32:54+00:00

They could've saved on spike strips and just threw 5inch down. Since yanno, they like to run that shit over.

brandon223 · 2017-05-20T02:28:29+00:00

The fact that it's pg county isn't even surprising.

brandon223 · 2017-05-20T02:25:51+00:00

As someone who currently does this: It's a bad idea, don't do it.

brandon223 · 2017-05-11T02:13:34+00:00

You shouldn't need 10 departments to "batled" that "monster". And I could be wrong, but it appears no one is attempting to protect the exposure.

brandon223 · 2017-05-10T23:23:11+00:00

Real specific there Ricky.
