    You started IVs with an over inflated sense of self worth? Sounds like an average ems worker...

    I'm not a spelling cop but, yeah, that was pretty funny. I can too by the way. I do a lot of things in vain.

    I am First-Aid/CPR certified, which is renewed annually. I have Wilderness First Aid training and current certification. When I was an athlete, I had a Sports First Aid training, but no current certifications (don't need it). Outside of that, I have taken two sports medicine classes in an accredited college.

    I've had my ETT training while I was part of the volunteer EMS squad in my community. Since I left the squad that has expired but I keep my first aid/ CPR cert up to date. My wife's EMT cert is still valid
    There ain't too many problems you can't fix with $500 or a 30-06.

    Me-"Exactly."

    Due to the nature of my business I have to have EMT-B. I also have studied herbal and holistic medicine(Native American and Japanese).

    basic first aid and a little of the more advanced stuff. i have spent a lot of time learning from 18Ds, so im pretty sure i could perform some basic surgeries if i had to. so far, i have only tested that theory on animals though. hopefully it stays that way.


    basically, i can treat shock and stop bleeding.

    EMT-Intermediate - Paramedic school next year. The information I've attained through my career is invaluable in a SHTF situation and I am very well aware of this
