As mentioned in my inaugural post, I am reading Blood, Sweat and Tea which is essentially a bunch of blog post from a gentleman who works for the London Ambulance Service turned into a book. I have looked at getting an EMT-B certification before but a couple of things are holding me back. First and foremost, it's time and money I don't have. Second, I don't know that I'd do so hot with the blood, gore and (I have learned from Blood, Sweat and Tea) the prodigious amounts of urine and vomit that EMTs get to deal with. Third, I don't really want to be an EMT qua job but I want to be able to help someone if he or she drops in front of me. Maybe this is my hero complex but it would be nice to know that I could help save someone's life if I had to.
I could do it, there's a 7 credit class at a local community college this summer but it would be a tonne of money and a bunch of time that both need to be spent paying my rent and feeding myself. As I find myself saying increasingly often, maybe next year/time/month/week. Maybe I could get some (or hopefully most) of the information from a book, this warrants examination...
Until next time.
