  1. I know that that Chicago Fire is just a TV show which was made to entertain us. In germany its nearlly the same, most of the emergency calls we are being also taxi service. In germany we got an emergency doctor system. On an ambulance is one "Rettungsassistent" as Paramedic in charge and a "Rettungssanitäter" as EMT-B There is a second car for the emergency doctor, which is driven by a Paramedic. If someone calls with chest pain, a heavy car accident or a reanimation the doctors car will also go to the emergency. So when I am on the ambulance we also start CPR to a 99 years old man, even if there is a declaration that he dont wants. When the doctor arrives he is allowed to say stop even when the doctor need 30 minutes. To become a Paramedic in Germany you first need to be EMT-B. This need you 3 months. One Month theoretical course, one month in the hospital and one on an ambulance as third person. Thereafter 4 months theoretical course and 2 months hospital. When you passed the exam, you need one year as practical training with a Paramedic in charge, then you get your certificat
  2. Hello guys, I'm Chris I'm 21 years old paramedic from Dortmund, Germany. I'm interested in the US emergency medical system since I have seen Chicago Fire. I was lookin in the Internet but I did found what I've been looking for so I desided to join your community. I wanna know what your have to do in the U.S. to become a paramedic? And during my search in the Internet i found many shortcuts as they are EMS, EMT, PIC-EMS, EMT-B, -I and -P, Paramedic and some more. For me as German its a bit confusing cause I don't understand what these are mean and which competences belong to them. I'm sorry for my English and thanks in advanced Chris
