Love hate relationship with EMS/Fire

Grow up kid, don't post stupid shit like this.

I'm in an EMT class right now myself. Going to start doing a few ride alongs in the coming days and I'm obviously nervous/anxious to run a call where I'll need to do something.

I anticipate that just like anything in life, the more you do something, the easier it gets over time. Everyone is green at first.

Knowing your shit will probably make you feel less intimidated. Get to know what the ranges of normal Heart rates and respitory rates, etc. for people in certain age brackets. Learn to identify symptoms and warning signs. Just learn your shit.

They taught us to always appear like you know what you're doing and remain calm even when eternally you have no idea what the hell to do and may be losing your shit.

Who put a stuck up your ass?

Write a reflective journal so you can keep track of what you learnt and what you could learn to do better each day.

It's probably the stick of

>I'm itching for another run
>we had a non-breather

that says that this person is really aching for a chance to be confronted with other people's death and destruction, which is a terrible attitude to have - EMT or otherwise. It's an attitude that says "I'm inexperienced and really have no clear grasp of the situation I'm involving myself in."
