emergycare medic

I think that a decent working knowledge of A&P with greatly help the EMT. But I think The biggest thing that the EMT and Medic need is more hands on. Be it doing ride-a-longs or shadowing a Dr. in the Emergency Room. I also feel they need to learn what questions to ask and how to ask them in a way that will help them and the patient be more comfortable and still get your SAMPLE and OPQRST done with out sounding like your are reciting a book to your patient and know how to interpet the response from the patient.
