Anyone else work in EMS?

ER def not the worst dept to work in, probably one of the better ones honestly. I did 6 years in the US Army as a medic. One of those years I was actually an EMT on base. 12 hour shifts sucked sometimes but having more days off during the week made up for it. it actually might be a little more chill on the civilian side since your scope of practice is very limited. when we werent responding to calls we were working the ER doing all sorts of shit from IVs to flushing out ear wax. oh and dont forget your TUBES (totally unnecessary breast exams)!

Are you out of the military now? If so, what's your occupation?
