I hadn't even imagined that an EMT program would be dumb enough to put their students (who are riding to learn medical care, not lawn care) on an engine. <br /><br />Thanks for the enlightenment, although now I feel sick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489648728739050434.post-88373981614257292442009-11-30T05:57:51.076-08:002009-11-30T05:57:51.076-08:00We threw out an EMT student last week for being a ...We threw out an EMT student last week for being a sarcastic smarta$$. I would have tossed him earlier if I had known he almost got tossed by the other shift 2 days prior, and they had warned him repeatedly to watch his mouth with us.<br /><br />Unfortunately, every time we get a student it ends up a slow day followed by a busy night after the student leaves.

He really didn't whine although I could tell he was bored while studying in the classroom. (you can look at he "Farm Injury" section in the EMT book for only so long)<br /><br />He was eager to learn despite having no manipulative skills. He is finishing up a BA at a nearby college and wants to be a PA. He appeared to be sharp enough to pull it off.<br /><br />I just think my station is not the place to be sending these people.<br /><br />In answer to your question, we get them for one day. Then they go off to the ambulance and finally to the ER. I wish him well. By the time I get back, "EMT Season" will be over until next semester. Then they will start showing up again.<br /><br />Thanks Ann T. for the comment.Capt.

Ma...Dear Captain Schmoe,<br />How awful for everybody. <br /><br />Maybe he'll figure out to change his look, learn to do things, learn to study on his own, learn to bring a book or laptop. At least he wanted to do something. <br /><br />I'm guessing that he whined a little though. I would too. I would have gone nuts with nothing to do. I would have tried not to drive anyone else nuts though.<br /><br />Is he coming back??? I almost hate to ask. <br /><br />Ann T.Ann T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11128699035211561119noreply@blogger.com
