• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

when this show was on..the fire department here...all volunteer..would get together and watch the show...not all the guys ofcourse...just a few..but sometimes they would have dispatch (the police dispatcher at that time)use the plectron and tone out a "training night at martin park 8 pm" and it was just to get together to watch emergincy...my dad went up and wasnt into the show..was pretty mad more than a few times...LOL...
 
I don't know if that show had anything to do with my becoming an EMT, but am somewhat glad I am not one any longer. I went through EMT training in late 1977, and worked for a private ambulance company in Indianapolis, until late '79. Then I went to Paramedic training at Mankato State Univ., in MN for a year, before going back on active duty with the USN.

I don't relish the job that present day Paramedics and EMTs have, especially with the AIDS problems. We didn't have that to deal with when I worked with EMS.
