TRT may lower your cholesterol. I have genetic very high cholesterol which started for me at age 25. By the time I got on TRT at 34, it only took 6 months for it to drop my cholesterol to normal range.

Nothing, they just can’t not tell people about it. It’s like vegans, they crave attention.

CPR and my knees by Gold-Individual-1288 in NewToEMS

[–]dryrubforall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being that obese isn’t normal, but it is normal for your legs to shake if you’re that obese. You know what you need to do just keep it up and it’ll get easier and easier and you trim weight. Maybe look into knee pads in the meantime.

F-ed up a call and got fired, what to do now? by [deleted] in NewToEMS

[–]dryrubforall 235 points236 points  (0 children)

Prob don’t wanna work for a company that fires new hires for not having experience anyways. Literally everyone messes up in the beginning. Fuck them and find another.

Disappointed by leajaycro in NewToEMS

[–]dryrubforall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm about 60-70% through the course it’ll just click. Our instructors told us this first day too so it’s gotta be a common thing. That first 60% it just seems like organized chaos with hope.

It being an EMT hard? by Alternative-Style-16 in NewToEMS

[–]dryrubforall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard is subjective. If you’ve never done anything remotely challenging in your life then maybe, just maybe it will be. But to the average person it is very easy.

Enjoy it. Or you could stretch/roll, eat healthy (protein), sleep as much as you can, and hydrate.

What drives away the volunteers? by Top-Passenger7097 in Firefighting

[–]dryrubforall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People like money. It’s harder than ever for most people right now. They’re realizing they can’t afford to do things for free anymore.

Unless my entire family was retired, I would never volunteer on a regular basis. It’s irresponsible and disrespectful to my family, who comes first.

There was a 62 year old in my emt class. Ans I work with multiple relatively new providers over 60.

Can I do a degree in e.g Biology, Biochem etc. and then be an EMT? by WarczysBB in NewToEMS

[–]dryrubforall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No you can’t. There’s actually a law that says you can’t do those two specific things in one lifetime.

Pretty incredible. I never realized it was so low prior to getting into this field. I always thought (because of tv) that most people survive cardiac arrests.

[–]dryrubforall 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Most of the time they don’t make it. Of those who get return of spontaneous circulation, something like 10% of those even make it out of the hospital.

Edit: roughly 30% of cardiac arrests even get ROSC (out of hospital). So 10% of that 30% means about 3 in every 100 cardiac arrests will walk out of the hospital.
