This. I had a highschool friend that got sucked into the EMT crowd and things didn’t pan out the way their parents (and friend) thought it would.  [/quote]

Fiction…..people are getting frustrated and making shit up.[/quote]

I don’t know about the “EMT crowd” thing, buts it’s absolutely true that EMTs don’t do a whole lot and are mostly transporting non emergent patients who don’t require anything at all medically from them (or sitting around). You are better off working just about any other patient care role in a hospital if your goal is patient exposure, medical care, and learning if the medical field is for you.  [/quote]

When DC joined, they were warned that they cannot be squeamish, and will be exposed to everything. The example they used was from the previous week where someone was cleaning their (still loaded) gun, and shot their privates off. They work in a very busy unit and get called out a lot. I can imagine how this would be different if the unit mostly served wealthy suburbs. [/quote]

It just occurred to me that y'all might be talking about hospital based/private EMTs, while I'm talking about the ones affiliated with fire departments/911.[/quote]
