I remember when my mom was preggy with me. (well I have heard stories) like once it was a day in July and they were doing search and rescue. one of the officers made her drink a bottle an hour. message me back and I’ll write details. not enough characters.

lol. I was going to be a police officer until I learned that you get a lot of time with them when you’re a medic.

lol, likewise. I remember when I was like 4, I was always pretending to be a police officer, firefighter or paramedic. Then, I just choose paramedic. I love every aspect of that career.

I’ll call the dept tomorrow and see. they might or might not. I have been such a lil EMT since I was about 10 or 11. Boy I remember thoes days when I thought the years like this would never come.

ya, stick with it, …
ya, stick with it, and don’t let people talk you out of it. Also if you can, you should try to get out on some ride-alongs if you haven’t done so, with some experienced EMT’s. It’s a great learning tool to see if you are able to handle the stress of the job.

I was NEVER good at cells. I remember in 5th grade learning cells and looking at my science teacher like she had a 3rd eye. I auctully have a few emts and medics encouraging me, I keep telling them that it’ll happen when I’m ready.

Ya, I can take my PCP course at 17, but our ambulance service won’t hire until 19.
If I can give you some advice for your EMT class, one of the best subjects to know, is biology and cell formation. That sort of thing. I bet you’ll do great.

ALS is a fun vehicle. I only know that from my parents. That’s very cool. One of these days I think I’m going to take EMT class. Soon I’m only 16 but here you can get your certs at 16 but can’t run calls until 18. I will adventully. very nervous.

@maarakailet1 – …
@maarakailet1 – from what I have read, something to do with the copper concentration in the penny, will supposedly help reduce the swelling. However I do not reccomend this seeing as millions of people, some who have communable disease, touch the pennies. You don’t want to contaminate the wound anymore.

It depends on how …
It depends on how severe your allergies are. If they are severe enough, (Anaphylaxis,) then yes you can die within minutes. However, one can buy what is called an EpiPen which will administer 1 dose of Epinephrine (hormone-aadreniline) which will help you. I suggest buying the Twinject auto-injectors because then you have two separate doses of Epinephrine just in case the first initial dose doesn’t work.
