Hi, I have not started the emt course yet and I really want to. I wanted professional opinions on if I should even start. It is something I really have my mind set on but, earlier tonight my sisters boyfriend told me 'I love the idea but, I'm worried about the physical part of it'. The only reason he has to say this is because I walk with a limp. I got in a car wreck a couple of years ago that left me with a noticable limp. I am stronger than most females, and anytime there is anything tough to do at one of my jobs I'm the one that gets asked to lift whatever is heavy. I think I can do it and I really want to but, maybe I'm really not physically capable. I have talk to a couple of people about it and they're like 'if you are really wanting to do it, don't let anyone tell you no'. I guess I just need to talk to the guidance counsaler at the tech school I'm going to go to and see what she has to say. I just want some first hand advice, I don't know any emt/paramedics personally. Please and thank you!
