  1. Not to try and discourage anyone but wouldn't being colour blind make it much more difficult to assess a number of visual s/s? My concern would be for the medics ability to do a proper patient assessment under those circumstances. Maybe there are ways around that I don't know. I've always been able to rely on my colour vision.
  2. Personally I could care less if a partner is gay strait or otherwise oriented. It's completely irrelevant to the job and doesn't concern me in the slightest. As long as a gay partner isn't chasing after my strait rear end that is. It's kind of flattering but once you tell them your straight they better knock it off.
  3. Why not get a copy of your drivers abstract and see if it's even on your driving record? If it isn't on your driving record you have nothing to disclose. I would tell them the truth if they ask of course. I'm a little surprised you don't need an abstract to apply to a service in your area. I'm currently applying with BCAS and one of the things they specifically ask for in the application package is a copy of your drivers abstract.
  4. To be honest I can't understand why this thread has carried on for so long. I'm just starting out in EMS and I would NEVER do something outside of my scope. I would like to progress through the levels of EMS and risking my license at this early stage would fall into the stupid risk category in my opinion.
  5. It's unfortunate so many of the people in your service would rather drive the ambulance than attend to the patient. Myself I would much rather be the one attending as much as possible because I'm just getting into it. I'm not entering the field to drive an ambulance. Maybe that's just me. I like Dust's ideas for the most part. The only problem is that many services wouldn't have enough drivers with the over 25 rule. I know much of BC would be hooped in that case. BCAS is facing massive retirement numbers in the next 5 years. Also I do think the lights and sirens have a place as long as they are used correctly.
  6. I'm a BC licesed EMR in Merritt BC. Currently looking for work, and planning to take my PCP as soon as funds permit.
