Paramedics check in here

Hey guys, seems everyone else has a thread dedicated to them, so i figured we ought to have one for all us medic's out here, basics and intermediates are allowed also. Anyone out there doing the offshore thing? I've been thinking real hard about it lately. Currently I'm an FTO for AMR in Arlington, Tx.

I am currently going through the EMT-B school and if everything goes well I will go all the way to Paramedic by the end of next year.

I'm a "Was'sa" of 14 years being an EMT-D complemented with ATLS, ALS, and PALS.

Does that count?

FFII/EMT-I

No one in Georgia takes EMT-B anymore. Waiting for the paramedic for a few years. We only need it to become an officer so I have another 4 years. I want to ride the fire engine every once in a while, not just the hook all the time and get burnt out in 7 years. I'll only be 29!!!

I'm an EMT, first aid instructor, and a Haz-Mat guy...but only part-time.

Can I still be in your club?

Good luck with that, I'm sure you'll get in.

I've got 13 years in so far. I'm just past the halfway point to retirement. I gave up my national registry because it's not recognized here in Oregon. Our standards are tougher (so the state says-- I say BS!). We have to take a couple of extra tests to get certified. A separate Pediatrics section and a Laws section. Just another way the state can collect some money from us.
