Do you live in Mayberry? Over four years here is what our EMT child dealt with as an EMT:

Stab wounds 
GSWs
Amputations
Crush injuries 
Full body burns
Suicide attempts and successes 
Horrific MVAs
Child abuse
Elder abuse
Medevac 
TBIs
So many overdoses

I guess it depends where you work.[/quote]

That's why I came to the conclusion that these folks are talking about hospital based or private ambulances, not ones that get called out for emergencies. These are the stats for the calls received.

That was my thought too, thinking about private ambulance companies that do transport. I had to stop reading as the responses were annoying and a bit offensive. Mine has also been exposed to all of those in both a rural location and a city location job. They’ve helped save lives and been exposed to things I can’t even fathom at a young age.

BLS/ALS responses to emergent calls are a totally different animal compared to IFT.

Ms. Shoulder Chip should quit while she’s only marginally exposed.[/quote]
