Sample text

Often, they are deeply discounted. If money is tight, many libraries have a medical section and many local colleges have their own medical library. Don’t ignore online sources of information. Take advantage of websites with quality medical information; there are thousands of them. By printing out information you believe will be helpful to your specific situation, you will have a unique store of knowledge that fits your particular needs. I recommend printing this information out because you never know; one day, the internet may not be as accessible as it is today.

Cross-training is extremely important, as the medic may, one day, need a medic! Confidentiality is another important factor to success as a medical resource. You will have to interview your group members so that you’ll have all the information you need to keep them healthy. Sometimes that information includes things that your patient doesn’t want to be made public. You must never disclose anything that would make others see you as untrustworthy. If you don’t have the trust of the community you serve, your effectiveness drops significantly.

You will still learn a lot of useful information and I highly recommend them. It should be noted that there are different levels of Emergency Medical Technician. EMT-Basic is the primary course of study, but you can continue your studies and become a Paramedic. Paramedics are taught more advanced procedures, such as placing airways, using defibrillators, and placing intravenous lines. In remote areas, they might even take on the roles of physicians and nurses to give injections, place casts or stitch up wounds.
