Being an EMT is a rewarding and exciting opportunity. Emergency Medical Technicians respond to all types of emergencies, from auto accidents, to injuries, to sicknesses, to cardiac arrests. Every day presents a new challenge. Imagine flying down the road with sirens blaring, cars pulling out of your way, and the dispatcher alerting you with information about the situation ahead. Your training kicks in, and you tell the crew in the back of the ambulance how to prepare for the emergency. Once you arrive on scene, you take charge and help the individual in need. Depending on the situation, you may transport the patient to the hospital or render aid on scene. Once you clear the call, you think, “I just helped someone today.”
