congratulations on passing the exam matt, you get bonus points for having to deal with people at methodist hospital too.
(ive gone there for years and im always still amazed by the uselessness of some of the employees there)

hope you have suceess and good luck with the job and be safe out there.

Hahahahahha... Yeah well but I think it's like that everywhere. But you could be stuck at Coney Island Hospital or Kings County, dealing with a totally burned out nurse and a doc who is up for 36 hrs...

CONGRATULATIONS

Ted Fisher, EMT I

Matt - Congratultaions bru! You seem so passionate about about your Interest in EMS that I'm certain you will make a brilliant paramedic.
I've enrolled for my BAA (I assume the equivalent of EMT-B) in january, so expect a number of irritating questions to invade your PM inbox:)

Ask all the questions you want.

Too bad you couldnt make it out to NYC last summer. Oh maybe next year...

Happy New Year...

Congrats!!!

A word of warning about med school, or any intense graduate program. It can be hell on the family. I have quite a few friends, male and female, who's marriages have suffered greatly (some ending) from the stress of medical School. It doesn't let up until about the 7th year when you finish your residency and finally get established. Sounds like you would do EM, which is one of the toughest of all specialties for time and stress.

God Bless!

Good Luck though! If you want it you can make it happen, and if your family is committed with you, it can even be a great experience.
