The Richmond Ambulance Authority is an Awesome place to work! We are just a few hours from DC, about 6 from NYC. It is a high volume system and you will learn a lot. Check out www.raaems.org
I like to tell them that it sounds really bad, and if they don't get it checked out immediately that they are likely to die, lose a limb etc. Then I say "just kidding"....lol
In reality, I don't give people advice, cause I am not a Doctor
