kbordson 8 #2 January 18, 2008 Good luck More importantly... May you enjoy the challenges and learning opportunities. May you feel wonder and awe with your ability to help those that need your assistance. May you not grow too jaded with the morbid humor that sometimes is necessary.

dropdeded 0 #6 January 18, 2008 Thanks guys, yep been 5 years now. I've had a pretty good run of experience with great exposure to a wide range of situations. Started BLS transfers, ALS transfers, rural 911, metro 911, great partners for the most part that put me to work Im not going in with a bunch of unrealistic expectations, and I'll do the best I can, thats all I can do. And I still like the jobdropdeded ------------------------------------------ The Dude Abides. - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mamajumps 0 #10 January 18, 2008 Thats so awesome! Good luck! I am finishing up EMT school and want to work in the field for a year and then go on to Medic school. Please keep us updated with how it is going, I know it is very intense! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcpierce 0 #11 January 18, 2008 Best of luck bud...I'm jealous. I just took my EMT-I recertification test waiting on the results. Hopefully I'll be in Medic school soon too. For all those non-lifesaving people. Just remember, we're off duty when we're at the DZ, therefore we have no duty to act. So be nice, I might help you out.Blue Skies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydiverbrian 0 #13 January 18, 2008 Depends on your employment status. Employed privately, you have no legal duty to act. Employed publically, you have a legal duty to act, but only if you're sworn. Almost everyone has a moral duty to act; unless of course, they have no morals.

wmw999 2,447 #15 January 19, 2008 That's really awesome. You'll do wonderfully! Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beerlight 0 #16 January 19, 2008 I asked again and he clarified his statement. You are correct. Although the moral duty to act would be a major player. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKCrash 0 #17 January 19, 2008 I have been an EMT for six weeks already. I started Medic school couple weeks ago. I think we need more trained people on the DZs. Good luck with your class.

skybeergodd 0 #18 January 19, 2008 In Missouri, you always have a Duty to Act and if you do not and are proved to be on the scene you can be held liable in court...oh yeah and forget about keeping your license...it's gone!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
