Re: Ever Wonder the difference between Emts and Paramedics??

I would have become defensive as well. You may not have meant to come across the way you did but it sounded as though you think it is such an easy test...anyone could pass.

Yes I do know the difference because my son is a paramedic Smile

He has his paramedic license along with a BS in physiology from a major university. If I were ever in an emergency medical situation, he is someone I would want to help me....

Proud of him and his crew! {#emotions_dlg.thumbup}

Is this thread a passive aggressive slam against the EMT who posts here?

Ridiculous! I posted this late at night for Jules and Mistrisquirrel since they are going through what I did. Now, that I am caring for my stepmom I wouldn't want to lift her as her bones are very brittle.

Perhaps. It was over 10 years ago. Like I said, I just took the basic course. I'm sure the more advanced levels are much harder. No need to get all defensive.

Hmmm..I checked my response and the ONLY one who seems to have an attitude here is you..

Not surprising...

EMTs saved my elderly fathers life 2 times. They are truly a blessing.

I applaud all emts. I don't know how one separates their emotions from the job.

Thats why they are angels as are Nurses and especially Hospice Nurse. I would be much too emotional.
