Back in 1969 Phx Fire wanted to work fires not EMS. Then that changed in the 1980s when big cities found DOT money in it. In the 90s Fire started a chain of events making private EMTs less, and Fire more trained with thier own EMT Fire classes. If...

I wish you could comprehend....
I wish you could comprehend a wife's horror at 6 AM as I check her husband of 40 years for a pulse and find none. I start CPR anyway, hoping to bring him back, knowing intuitively it is too late. But wanting his wife and family to know everything possible was done to try and save his life. Even if you know it will not change anything. You do it for the family.

- Hi Jodi, I have a friend who struggled in an EMT class in NM then moved to WA. She had testing issues before so to try to make that unreasonable mark was a horror for her. Glad you put that up there for the rest of us to see. I have passed it along to her so maybe she won't feel so bad.
I recently was shafted here in Maine but we ( a whole class ) are almost done [10 months after having started what should have been a 5 month program]. Keep doing what you do, it is appreciated by others!
