Confessions of an EMS Newbie

Ep 29 One Done


Listen Later

[audio:29_OneDone.mp3] (32:55) Finals week is over and Ron went on his first shift as a volunteer. We talk about finals and having high standards. We also talk about testing and how it is done in colleges now and what that means for the student. Ron got to meet his medical director where he is volunteering and we talk a little about medical direction in EMS. Ron’s medical director actually pulled the ambulance crew while he was working and gave them some intubation tips, which he shares on the podcast.

Listener Questions

Kelly and Ron, I’m going to be starting classes for my EMT basic in a few months and I’m pretty nervous. I know I’m smart and capable but I’m only 5 feet tall. Do you think this will be a problem on the job? Or will I not be taken

seriously because of my size? Thanks….JJ
