Thank you finding my statement!! I completely missed it.
Very frankly, what you (and probably most of us, including me) need is training. Internet chat isn't even close to sufficient.
Good training involves a fair amount of actual, hands on, practice, as well as book learning, ideally taught by a highly experienced hand. My first EMP trainer was a Navy medic with Vietnam behind him. My first refresher/recert course was a very practiced paramedic with lots of experience. That plus my own field experience made me less of a disaster on an emergency scene.
I know you have said that training in your area is hard to come by. I can only hope that you will be successful eventually.
