Yep, I was a EMT-P back in Philly years ago, gave it up for a while (well at least not professional). About 13 years ago, went back to school and got a degree in EMS as a medic. Been working in a high volume system (130k calls / yr) for the last 12 years, until I got hurt on the job last year. The Docs say I can never return to the streets. Waiting any day now to be scheduled for a third surgery next month..... probably the end of my career. Even so, I just recertified my NRP and state license..... there is always hope!

NRP is national registry? EMS degree was just becoming a thing in the late 90's around here. By 2000, I was off the rig and doing something else.

Oh, you're the real deal, LS. Me, I worked on private services, the job was mostly gomer transports. We had occasional calls where we could play with the shocky paddles and tubing somebody, but each time I recall looking down at this poor old thing we were working on, and wondering...what's the point. Everybody was on privates with the goal of eventually getting on a fire dept, especially Chicago FD.

Real sorry to hear about your injury!
