Life's Gamble

Having been involved in the fire service for only a few years now, and with the ink still drying on my EMT card, I can still quite definitely say that EMTs face a great deal of danger to life and health.

Obviously, the 2 things that are hammered into our heads in out EMT class, the very 2 first things...BSI and Scene Safety...while seemingly stupid and annoying, can prove to be the best information any EMT, or Paramedic, can use.

I think becoming an EMT has helped me gain a profoundly new respect for EMS, and the people involved.

I think many good points brought up, and all of them were for telling how dangerous ANY line of first responder work can be!

Oh, and by the way...

Right because getting HIV/aids or Hep-C or meninigitis is not dangerous.......whatever because thats what I want, a nice slow painful death. Didnt you ever learn to think before you talk.....unless like said previously that your looking for a war.
