Happy EMS week!

I love this! I live in the area, work as an EMT-equivalent in a hospital, and would love to be part of a “student job” discussion

[@Passion84GodAlways]

[@waveyseason8910]

They should definitely get paid more for what they do…like a lot of other lower level workers in the medical industry

[@Mdksupreme1]

How long does it take to be an emt, and how much does it cost?

[@TheBlackDorothyZbornak]

Only two folks? :'(

We are grateful that 2 people came in person to sit down with us and share all their experiences as EMTs. It might surprise you but it’s incredibly hard to get people to do this, we’re sorry this was disappointing to you.
