The best contract held by AMR emploies in this area is from King county, Washington They are represented by the teamsters.

  14. While in high school I wanted to become a MD. I had the grades I even graduated HS early and was excepted to several State and private colleges. I was right on tract. However at the end of my last year in highschool I attended a national youth leadership fourm on medicine. During the time I spent there I was given the opportunity to shadow several different MDs, DOs and PAs, while shadowing and ER doc I was talking to a paramedic and he offered to take me out on a ride along. After getting clearance to do so I rode with him for the last 8 hours of his shift, during that time I realized that That was what I wanted to do. I didn't need to become a MD. I have no regreets as of yet I love my job even though I despise my company and I am getting ready for medic school.
