Sounds like someone is a little worked up about my responses. I'll have you know, I have been hearing all of the responses on this thread. So chill out. While it is true that because I don't like an answer, doesn't make it wrong. I happen to know the particular answer I responded to, the one you're so worked up about, is wrong. It isn't as black and white as "take medicine, can't be in EMS. Don't take medicine, can be." That was a garbage response, and I treated it as such. I'm a very comforting person, that's something that I believe will help me in EMS. If you need a hand to hold or a shoulder to cry on to help you through this thread, I'm here for you buddy. Thank everyone else for the replies.
By the way, I live in the great Northwest as well. With any luck, I'll end up working in your ambulance
Thanks for the replies everyone. I appreciate you offering me some perspective. All advice has been noted.
I don't think anybody is ready to face that situation, or ever will be.
