Hi Scott If you're who I think you are, yes we do "know" each other from another site based in the UK. (If it confirms who you think I am, I'm the guy with the red GoldWing on the other site!) Thanks for the "basics", I will be in touch when I have sat down and sorted out the pro's and cons and logistics etc, mainly which will be the better option for all of us, ie, do I move to her or does she move to me, (Probably the former!) All the best Ian

Hi guys and girls. First the introductions, my name's Ian and I'm from England. I work as an EMT1/Ambulance Care Assistant in London. Been a "silent watcher" of the forums for quite a while but have now decided to jump in and ask a few questions which I hope can be answered either in whole or in part on here I am looking at moving to the Chicago area sometime in the next couple of years to be with my girlfriend, so accommodation etc is not a problem, however employment is. I am confused as to the definition of EMT in the US and what the requirements/skills remit of an EMT are in the US. My skills remit in the UK is not massive, I am nowhere near paramedic level, but do have a good skills range that I am allowed/certified to do. I appreciate that this is a bit short and "abrupt" but any sensible suggestions/help/pointers on this would be very much appreciated. All the best to all on here Ian
