Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I had wanted to be a firefighter/paramedic since I was a child. I actually first got into it in college (back in the 80's) but was talked out of it by well-meaning parents and a lieutenant who had a complex about female firefighters. I resumed my interest shortly before 9/11, and went to the fire academy and medic school.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
The money... not! Actually, it's the fact that every day is different.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
training, money, crazy patients, dysfunctional firefighters with pysch problems who think they know it all (and yes, I'm talking about you)
