Default Re: Ask me about being an EMT.

Here are some real questions for you OP:

(1) What skills do you think everyday people should know in order to save lives? I've always thought it would be a good idea to take some kind of emergency health training. Obviously CPR is one of these - what else? Other things to look for (taking vital signs, for example)

(2) What separates an EMT from a Paramedic from a full out doctor?

(3) Do you have a lot of back pain from lifting fat people on stretchers?

1. I don't really know. I guess you could learn, basic cpr. Would be a good idea.

2. Paramedic is just an industry term not used anymore. Doctors have a lot more schooling than EMT's. EMT job is to provide immediate medical care and try to ship them to the doctors asap.

3. I don't know. Sometimes my back hurts, sometimes not. I guess it depends on what you define as a lot of back pain.

Your answers show that you don't have a clue what you are talking about. Are really an EMT or just like pretending to be one?
