Close enough. (whistles!!) The line forms right here, folks. Mental cases in this line. Medical in this line. All the, "I won't to go to the wilderness to survive" folks come up here in front. blkhawk can start with you first. (this is gonna take some time).
Hey Crash, move those chairs back there. We're going to need a LOT more room for the mental line.

I used to be on the rescue squad, served six years of service, but that was many moons ago. I was *damn* proud of my Nationally Registered Emergency Medical Technician certification I was awarded, as it was a higher standard than the Virginia EMT-A.

Echo2, I see you have been busy accumulation a portfolio of certifications, good job sir! Glad to see you'r accomplishments.
I had scarlet fever as a kid and had to get a penicillin shot every day for a week or so. Yea, they are pretty darn painful. I was too sick to muster up much of a fuss though. And the rule around our house was that anytime you had to get a shot, you go ice cream. I couldn't eat ice cream at the time but my mom told me that we could get it after I got better. I don't remember ever getting extra at a later time lol.

NREMT is a more complicated class than the Va EMT requirements.....or at least it use to be. You can go anywhere as a NREMT.....not so with a state sanctioned certification.....IIRC....I had to do so many more hours of ER time for the NREMT also.
I'm not even sure if they are making the distinction nowadays.
BTW.... to my understanding...the differences have been addressed with EMT-A and EMT-B.....
