  1. Ruffems, thank you for the info. I will check it out. And thank you to everyone that responded. It is just one more reason to want to keep going.
  2. I have never had a siezure, it's something that could happed if I don't take in plenty of electrolites when sweating a lot. Yes, I do have a good, clean drivers license also. Thanks for your support!
  3. I had to be cleared by my physician to go to school and had her full support. I have no doubt at all that she would clear me for the work.
  4. Here is my issue. Should I follow through with school? I found out that I have Addisons Disease/ adreanal insufficiency 3 years ago in Novenber. I went to school for EMT B 2 years ago, finished 1st in my class and loved every bit of it. I want to keep going to EMT P. However this is my worry, will the county/state let me work? How would I find out? Most of the places that I know of are Fire/Medics. One issue with my disease is dehydration, it could cause me to have siezures. I have had a job in the past where one of my jobs was search and rescue on a ship. Where I have spent a lot of time in bunker gear with no problems. As you all are well aware of is school is not free. I would hate to spend so much money on a career the I can't be a part of.
  5. Thanks for the advice spenac! I feel the same way! It just makes sense to me that education should come first.
  6. Hello, I'm Brent. I am still in school for EMT-B and will be starting EMT-P in Aug. I have my first ride time (24 hr. shift) in about 10 hrs. and I am jacked!!! If you have any advice feel free to throw some my way.
