FLYBYU

I noticed the training sections lower on the forum page and downloaded a few things. I think that I will go to the library tomorrow and see if they would have something that my help me as well. Thanks for the tip!

I've applied to take the PCP (primary care paramedic) course at my local college and I've been put on the waiting list for the program. I would like to do some studying beforehand so that I'm better prepared when it comes time to do the course. If any of you kind souls has links or anything that you can point me towards I would be very grateful. I'm looking for information about body systems, bones, and normal conditions of the body. One of you is already helping me out (Thanks Mobey) but I thought that it wouldn't hurt to get some additional links and information. Thanks for any help guys!

I'm not an EMT, but I have worked in the oil patch before. First off it takes a special kind of person to do that kind of work. Hours of boredom, mostly spent in the front seat of a truck in the middle of nowhere (especially true if you are an EMT). The guys in the oil patch are pretty rough, you have to be able to put up with being yelled at and called names that would make you mom blush, and you need to be able to stick up for yourself. You may be working in very dangerous areas on very dangerous jobs, with guys that are probably nursing a hangover from the night before or are still a little tipsey cause they never really went to bed at all, just kept drinking until it was time to go to work again (yes this happens a lot, anyone who tells you otherwise is lying). The upsides to the job is that you get to travel a lot and some days when you are out working in the summer time and the sun starts to come up with the most beautiful red sunrise you think, "God, I can't believe I get paid to do this." It's the days like that that helped me through it, and the adventure of never knowing where or when my head would touch a pillow every night. It's a fun industry to work in for sure, but I can't see doing it for the long term, especially if you are in a serious relationship, it's a single person's world. I didn't sugercoat it for you, so I hope that helps you out.
