Any EMT/I/P's in here?

[jaybird210]

Been all three at one point or another in my career. Been a medic for the last eight years. Now I'm a boss. What was I thinking?

My first post here. I was going to say I'm trying to stay in my lane, but I'm not even on the same freeway. New to the platform; no military or LEO experience, so I've been quiet trying to learn. I checked out TOS, but spend far more time here: I'd rather be ignorant in a room full of geniuses, then smart in a room full of ding dongs.

I have my certificate for EMT-B. Finished it last semester. I just need to go take the National Registry.

I recieved Florida certs as an EMT in 94, a medic in 98, and firefighter in 99. I started out as a reserve police officer in Michigan in 92, left the field for an ER in 2001, and left the ER to teach full time in 2006. It has been an interesting ride to say the least.

EMT; lucky enough(or is it skill?) to be married to an OB/GYN. I say if the SHTF always good to know an M.D. M.D.'s with surgical skills such as Vasc., Gen. Surg., OB/GYN, even better! Maybe a one hand washes the other scenario: I give you protection, food, gas, ammo, whatever, in return for help as needed. Let me also say as an EMT-B; EMT's in general are underrated and overlooked. We get to the scene, do the best we can, and have them looking MUCH better for the M.D.'s in the ER. Then, the M.D.'s get the high five's. A good EMT is great to know in a bad situation.

I'll take a good EMT-B who knows his job over a half-assed medic for a partner any day.
