Well, there is another plus I suppose, you all take your teeth very seriously

I have dual UK / US citizenship, so can see things from more than one perspective.

The sense of patriotism most natural-born US citizens have is very commendable. There is also an underlying optimism among the population, which I have always found impressive. Definitely not a nation of whiners or quiters, when things get bad, they will take on 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet. The 75-hour week is commonplace in the US. The US work ethic is admirable, though that may be due to things like a lesser minimal wage and poorer benefits when compared to other westernized countries.

Individually, the people are genuinely friendly and don't bite.

The RAF have personnel who are HPC registered Paramedics, and I know of one ex RAMC CMT who was grandfathered in by the HPC. All he had to do off his own back, was the driving component, prior to gaining employment. He is now an ECP working for one of the trusts.

Welcome to the forum.

Did you find the EMT-B class easy compared to your CMT courses?

The replies here are probably going to echo those on another forum you posted on, in that nobody should be giving out medical advice on these types of forums. Your doctor is the best person to be discussing this with.

The attached files show very little anyway (as do all 3-lead tracings), but what can be said, is that it shows a normal rhythm, a normal rate, with occasional artifact and wandering baseline, due to movement / breathing.

Sorry, but you are definitely looking in all the wrong places for advice.
