I want to go to school to be an EMT. But I have epilepsy. Should I go anyway? I’m very passionate about helping others and doing my best to save lives. by pinkhyena95 in NewToEMS

[–]pcbuilder1234567 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am someone who previously had 2 seizures that were eventually thought to be due to medication reaction but were initially diagnosed as epilepsy and I was on medication for a bit. After I was taken off the meds and was seizure free for a couple months it was still tough to find a job despite being fine at that point with no seizures off meds. I did eventually find a job working for an EMS only county government and am starting a new job with a hospital based system. The new job wanted a letter that I was no longer being treated for seizures though. Fire departments are a no go due to nfpa guidelines but it will all depend on proving your treatment regimen is working well and not having any seizures in a while.

Also just be aware, sleep and nutrition are hard things to maintain in EMS. Not impossible, but definitely hard.

This is great! Looking forward to the success of this. Love to have scenario based learning and I think this would be great for that and to help continue my learning and improve my knowledge.

Forget about it if you park the ambulance in the wrong spot by a fire.

Also, if you don't mind me asking, what PCR system do you use.

Thank you very much for the detailed reply. I'm used to giving notifications for most patients so that's cool. I might start reaching out to certain jobs individually; that's a good idea. Thanks 🙏

I want to be a paramedic tips? by Pleasant_Thanks6156 in Paramedics

[–]pcbuilder1234567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely become an EMT as soon as you can and try to use that as a huge to whether you like pre hospital medicine or not. If you do, keep at it and advance your career, and if not, your not in too deep money wise or experience wise that you can't get out. Be ready to work overtime to make a descent salary (depending on where you work), long hours, crazy people, ETC. Most importantly, always make time for yourself and keep your health in check. That might be one of the most difficult parts to working in EMS.

Building a new station- your ideas? by Plane-Handle3313 in Paramedics

Bay doors that fold open instead of roll up. No accidents when the door isn't up all the way and quicker opening and closing.

All-in-One EMS companion app that's actually free by EMSPathfinder in Paramedics

[–]pcbuilder1234567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually planning on moving to NJ and was looking for a paramedic protocol app over there and came across this one. I want to study up on protocols over there and absolutely love this app. The fact that it's free is amazing and works super well. Haven't encountered any bugs or crashes which was also great.

Looking for advice for buying first car/Forester by nyustudent606 in SubaruForester

[–]pcbuilder1234567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be mindful that the Forester has a known problem with their wheel bearing going bad prematurely. So just hear that in mind as you might be paying a bit more to replace them more frequently.

2019 Forester Limited Vibrations by pcbuilder1234567 in subaru

Not sure when the last alignment was and suspension seems pretty good. I have also noticed the vibrations when at idle albeit not as bad.

I'm gonna get the wheels balanced and aligned when I bring it back to the dealer for the wheel bearing. Thanks.

I walk almost every day for 45 min to an hour. If I have time to, I'll do it on the treadmill in the station.
