Figured I'd stop in and say hi, names Matt, from Wisconsin. Been an EMT Basic since 2006, ran on a service part time for 3 years and spent a stint working in Milwaukee, did my thing down there, wanted the experience... and well I got it.
Service I was with for 3 years ran fire as well. I've currently got 3 1/2 months of paramedic class left. Some ask why I want to do what I'm doing, and the best answer I can come up with is I've had a person die right infront of me when I was new, mainly because I couldn't do anything about it, and I don't want to have to live with that again, atleast now if they die well, it was either their time, or I messed up haha.
Gotta have some sense of humor.....
