Station 2: Trauma
You have to assess and treat a trauma patient. Spine immobilization and subsequent injuries & treatments involved are key to passing this station. It sounds easy, but the procedures and methods involved take months and months of practice to do properly.You also will be asked to perform 1 out of 27 random skills.. If you fail, it's game over and you have to retest. The skills range from, tib fib fractures, impaled object, evisceration, femur fracture, sucking chest wound, bent elbow, etc(list goes on and on).


Ow....more ow...Oh god.. oh jesus...sucking chest wound... Man, as I read that list I felt every one of those. Pictured them in my head. I was thinking about doing EMT work, as big injuries and whatnot never really bugged me...

Then I watched my best friend lose an eye to a bungee cord and the ex-army medic stop the bleeding from his eyesocket...and I gave up on that one. I am SO squeamish when it comes to eyes.

Only eyes. I can watch / see / be around like...limb severance car accidents and whatnot, but nothing to do with eyes. Even thinking about that day makes me sick.

So you are more of a man than I. Although it's pretty cool to have some insight on how people become full-time EMTs

Grats on passing your test, and accomplishing your dreams, too! I spend alot of time at Chevy Chase so if you ever have a call out in that direction, make sure you ask for Torenhire. >>

I know I'll be in good hands!

Do 150 people conveniently get critically injured on test day or what's up with the trauma thing?

Actors are chosen. Randomly. They are told depending on their station, what to act for their station.

Yeah it's great to know that people who become EMTs are certainly qualified to do what they do based on what you described, but it's more delightful to hear that you've found something you're passionate about. Kudos to you brother!

I've met people from your squad. From what I've heard you guy are the top dogs in Maryland when it comes to volunteer companies.

That's awesome! I'm a paramedic down here in North Carolina.

Do you plan to become a paramedic and continue on?

wow i had no idea it was so intense to get into this kind of position, though it does make sense now. Good to know people like this have to be so well trained and dedicated
