Geez....sounds like I should retire now.

New to the forum.
Used to be a certified first responder in Alaska several years back. Then I was a BSA Lifeguard, then a VA Beach lifeguard, and somewhere in there a Red Cross CPR/1st Aid instructor. All my certifications have lapsed so I'm still operating off 10 yr old data.
In all that time, and especially now, if I'm not the guy receiving the first aid, I'm just the guy giving it when the medics/paramedics finally arrive.

Good day...I thought this might be a good first post for me.
I'm an Emergency Physician. I used to work in a major urban trauma center/teaching hospital as an ED attending and faculty member, now I work in a fairly small town ED in rural America. I'm also the medical director for our multi-county EMS agency and the local county FD. I also participate in one or two medical missionary trips a year, either Africa or S. America.
I'm a former fighter pilot, retired USAF, I used to be a paramedic back in the dawn of time, and am involved in SAR.
Originally I came here because I want to get some NFA weapons, and saw this sub. If I can answer any questions, I'll give it a shot. Of course, while I'm a physician, I'm not YOUR physician so no medical advice is offered.

Sure. It's probably a prostate problem. Drop your trousers, turn around and bend over while I get some gloves.....

hi,
36 y/o FF, been a ff for 12 years and paramedic for 8 years. i work for the city of Miami driving one of the busiest pumpers. miami's FD does both medical and fire so we get to see alot. like most FF we do not like the medical but it pays the bills.
when FF say they do not like medical is cause the abuse of calls. people here use fire rescue as a red taxis and house calls.
