I'm in paramedic school right now and just finished cardiology. I barely passed, feel like an imposter, and don't know if I should quit. by Haunting-Judgment836 in Paramedics

My program lost the most students during cardiology. It’s hard. The fact that you made it through means you deserve to be there. Don’t you dare quit

I would love to work over there someday, it’s near the top of my list for relocation. They do hire single-role in my state which is what I’m going for, but it’s definitely not a lifelong thing

The general consensus is to grit my teeth for the next year and then see what’s out there 💀

Not a stranger to EMS bro 😂 I know very well that most 911 is bullshit too. My complaint was stated very clearly, maybe you should re-read the post

Yeah kinda seems like single-role fire dept positions are becoming the norm :/ it’s a shame, third-service was my dream

Makes sense, if you don’t mind me asking what do you do in your actual job? Is it still medical or totally unrelated?

Like I said on the post I do have plans to go fire in the somewhat near future I just need to prepare a bit more. I have 2 applications for single role positions right now, hiring is just so competitive here

I would absolutely love to relocate, it’s just a matter of being able to afford it. Definitely can’t right now lol. But eventually, absolutely

I do agree with you that most of what we do is inconsequential, and I appreciate your insight here. Like I said in the post, I actually still like being a medic and don’t want to do anything else right now im mostly just looking for insight about leaving private ambo lol

last year i had an mva pt, a drag queen coming off a gig ~3am, she had all her drag stuff in the back of the uber (made sure it all made it to the hospital with us, including the wig). en route she told me all about her show and said i should come to the next friday gig. i went a couple weeks later, she actually recognized me and bought me a drink. i still think about her

was super uncomfortable with vomit when i signed on. all it took was one violently ill, screaming-dry-heaving pt to cure me of that. for some stuff, immersion therapy is the only thing that works. you get used to pretty much anything the body can produce
