Whats your opinion on this for me maybe wanting to be a Paramedic?!
Question: I have been thinking about this for a long time now and seriously considering it. Sometimes I think "ya, I definitely want to" and other times I am not so sure. So I am thinking I will just go to get EMT-basic certified and see how I like it. Because it couldn't hurt to be EMT-basic anyway, right.
What do you think?

I work in an ER tell me if you are called to a burning home with two children inside badly burned, not breathing, the mother screaming at you and asking why? the father trying to get the the last child trapped inside, could u do ur job? I'm not asking you not to be emoitonaly involved, but could you take the dying child in your arms and give her your breath b/c there's no time to hook her to a device? and do this for the 15 mins it takes you to get to the ER? If you can we need you. if not...well drive the box u'd still be helping.
Go ahead and get certified as EMT-basic. If you like it, then continue on to EMT-P.
Sounds like you've got a good plan. It doesn't take long to get your Basic certification and it would give you a good idea of whether or not you want to make a career in EMS.
