Well, there's me, DustDevil, WANTYNU, dahlio, vs-eh?, JPINFV, Acosell, and who ever is in the chat room right now...

Don't mind me, this time, I'm just being silly.

Do I still count if I'm not really into it? I signed up for a tour 1 tonight, don't want to do it, and couldn't find coverage....

I guess, as mentioned before, it would depend on what you wanted to use the numbers for..

I believe I've heard, though certainly unverified, that the majority of registered EMT-Bs are inactive. Went to class, got their cert, yet never moved into the field either paid or volunteer. (Was it JEMS that did one of their "myth" articles maybe? Not sure)

I'm guessing that getting an active number would be tough...

Just a thought...

I just figured it out: Multiple Personality Disorder. I have it. (So Do I,) (Me too)

Remember you’re never alone with a schizophrenic.

I'm still hoping someone will come up with a current source and number.

I'll post the answer I was given in a few days.

Be Safe,

So, in a small poll, 30% thinks nobody cares, this is a sad statement on how we perceive ourselves.

As I promised I would post the number I got in a few days, so here it is (and probably the end of this thread…)

As I have been told from a contact at EMS Magazine there are 900,000 CFR’s, EMT’s and Paramedic’s (i.e. MEDICAL first responders).

18,000 members on this site.

My question then has to be, where is everybody else?

Be Safe,

WANTYNU
