Bored

whats the difference between an EMT and a paramedic?

tell me an interesting story.

>>663252915
why did you choose that job?

>>663253267
Paramedic is higher rank. They can push major meds and intubate

>>663253350
Thought I was two dumb to be a nurse

>>663253270
Had a dead guy fart on me while putting him in a body bag

>>663252915
how often do you make fuck with the freshly dead 10\10s?

As a hypochondriac, is there a general way of distinguishing between a medical emergency and something that is not?
I monitor temp/bp/hr/sat, but I have no idea if that provides any useful indication of whether or not I need to go to the hospital.
Awhile back I drove myself to the ER for severe pain in the inner thigh that had me worrying about DVT despite a lack of redness or swelling. An ultrasound confirmed that it was literally nothing at all. I'm on a first name basis with most of the hospital's night shift now, and I imagine they wish I wasn't.

It's usually quite offputting

How difficult was the NREMT? I finished class in December and have been procrastinating taking the exam because I don't feel like failing.

How hard was it for you to find a job? My friend graduated a couple months ago from the academy and is having a bitch of a time finding a job. Mine starts in a couple months and i'm scared shitless of not finding employment.

what is EMT?

>>663253814
Download apps that ask you questions. And help you study. Do that a bit and you'll be fine. Not too difficult just get a good nights rest! That's crucial

>>663252915

Is the pic related?

>>663253950
Not hard at all, don't forget transfer centers and ER's as well as ambulance.

>>663255066
Not English

>>663255011
thats why I ask

>>663254866
Apply everywhere not just hospitals, good attitude. Commitment to being submissive to authority is important. It's hard but everyone in ER is above you, and you have to act like it. Yes sir no sir and not fucking things up goes a long way

>>663255187
That's the joke

>>663255361
That's good fucking advice. Thanks.

>>663255187
