Joining the world of street medicine is tough. You've put in the hours at your EMT school and done the work to learn your skills, and now, you are getting ready to start working at your first service. Whether you are a new hire at a 911 county service or a private convalescent service, you still have a lot of learning ahead of you. Many things go unspoken or unaddressed when you first join the EMS world. Most services are interested in getting you trained up and ready to run calls and treat patients. They're not focused on the little things that can happen or how rough your adjustment period to the streets may be. That's what this book is for. These 80 'pithy' or 'tongue n cheek' tips/guidelines can hopefully make your transition into street medicine a little easier. From tips on dealing with your partner after you make a mistake during a call to helping you make sure your personal equipment bag is ready before you hit the streets, this book is here to give you some street-learned advice so you can avoid the mistakes made by the EMTs that came before you.
