Obligatory Greeting Post

From the depths of the internet, comes yet another blog - like we need a few more. This one from the speedy fingers of a girl who has just embarked on her quest to become an EMT-B. What is an EMT-B, you wonder? This is an emergency personnel sort of...person... who is responsible for arriving on the scene when you've just been in a nasty car wreck, or fell out of a tree like the idiot you are (you know you've done it), and need someone to keep you alive in between the scene and the hospital. The EMT-B is the one who can perform the CPR to keep you alive, push some light drugs into you (and start an IV after a special certification course), and splint you should that fall from the tree have broken your arm.

So who is this incredible lass who has decided to join the ranks of The Awesome (hereafter known as EMTs)? Well, she's a 5'0", 90lb, blonde-haired, blue-eyed, twenty-year-old girl who apparently finds it amusing to employ the third person. She's been reading other blogs and wishes for the same catharsis, hence...this. She will be sharing observations and cool knowledge tidbits, and perhaps some funny stories (minus any identifying information. Love ya HIPAA).

Her course is a summer course, three days a week for an ungodly four hours a night. She wants to have a running commentary from day one, for something amusing to look back on upon the day of the final practical and National certification. Don't despair - after the EMT-B certification she wholly intends to get an EMT-I (intermediate) certification. Then if she really likes it, EMT-P (paramedic).

Stay tuned.
