Firefighter/EMT239

A lot of medics in Southern NJ operate this way. They have their own "Paramedic Unit" Which is tipically like a Ford Expedition or a Chevy Suburban or what have you. It's very common, usually when I see a paramedic ambulance i'm like WTF? You just get used to having the ambulance as a BLS unit and the medic unit for ALS.

Hello, I do not have much medical advice to add being that I am only a EMT-B in my state but I would like to add something. You have been doing EMS work for 17 years, correct?? Then I already commend you!! People just go through ruts, they forget things that they should already know or etc. I think you will be fine, just keep studying. I have been there where you feel like no matter what you did you always messed something up. When I went through school I was 16 y/o and I did pretty well until I came to the trauma section. It was just very hard for me to learn all the steps. Some of the instructors knew that I wasnt going to pass because I was so young. But I studied my ass off and sure enough I got a 100 on the trauma exam. Just keep plugging at it. I think you'll be ok. With 17 years of experience I have no doubts.
