I had the honor to be asked to join the inaugural episode as a guest tonight for the brand new GenMed podcast. (GenMedShow.com)

Teaching kids how to use 911
From time to time a news story emerges about a toddler dialing 911 and summoning help for an adult in distress. Aside from the wonder most of us feel at the presence of mind these little people display, it brings up an interesting point about teaching children about the emergency system in general, and when it’s appropriate for them to call for help.

NBC’s Trauma showing signs of life…
Rumors are swirling around the internet that, thanks to a recent ratings boost, the love-it-or-hate-it Trauma may be resuscitated by NBC after all.
NBC had planned to run the original 13 episodes that it had ordered, but now rumor has it that more episodes are forthcoming. Some believe that the ever-perplexing Nielsen ratings are responsible, but others believe that a groundswelling of fan support has tipped the scales in the show’s favor. Apparently there’s a #savetrauma campaign on Twitter, and fan fiction has sprung up surrounding the characters, always a sign of true fan loyalty.

As a current Paramedic Student I would say that would be rushing things. In fact during my interviews for the paramedic program that I am currently in the panel asked me what my plans were for outside activities during paramedic school. The program I am in right now is a 9 months (3 Quarters) of school work and about 9 months to 1 year of field/clinical work that you are doing while in school. This program is a eat, sleep, and breath paramedic program. Guys that try and hold jobs or have other commitments during the program often get burnt out or fall behind on class work and/or field/clinical work. I also recommend getting as much experience as you can at the EMT-B level before you move towards getting your EMT-P. In Washington state the requirement is that you must be an EMT-B for at least 1 year and most program like to see at least 2 years of EMT-B experience.
Now I just have you a little insight to the paramedic program I am in. All paramedic programs are different and have different requirements. I would look into the paramedic programs you are interested in applying to, take a look at those requirements and also talk to current and past students from that program and asked what worked best for them and what they would suggest.
Hope this helped you out.
Take care,
