EMT RECEIVE AN ENORMOUS SATISFACTION FROM PROVIDING A PUBLIC SERVICE TO VICTIMS WITH SUDDEN ILLNESSES OR ACCIDENTS
Not every call is as dramatic like on Greys Anatomy. For proper care of the patient it's the EMT/Paramedic job to assess their situation and transport them to a medical facility.
It's fairly easy to get a job
Their is no such thing as a routine you never know when your going to get the call.
I am not interested in this kind of job
