Riding along with an EMT!?

Question

Has anyone done this? I meet an EMT at work today and he gave me some ladies number to call so that I could ride along with him. What exactly do you do and what is expected out of you?

Answer 1

rules vary from squad to squad etc. but basicallly you will be a gopher and lifting engine. the things you will learn on your first ride along call will amaze you but be aware that if you get in the way or slow the needed activity down you wil be putting some one at greater risk. [personally i believe if you can stomach it one time you will want to become an E.M.T.yourself, hard work lots of training and the toughest job anyond will ever love]
