Paramedic

I don't know where I left off and I really don't care to read hundreds of my own blog posts to find out. I got hired on to the Fire Department ( I think that part was obvious) and within the last couple of months I finished paramedic school and passed my test. I am now a Fire Fighter / Paramedic or FireMedic.

School was a major drain. It was intense and very stressful. I had no life for well over a year and it feels like all I did was read medical books and take test every other day.

Here I am now, blogging before your very eyes, a FireMedic. It's done! I've come out the other side with the "red patch" and a new found respect for Amiodarone
