OK for the knowledge and being able to help. I have been able to help multiple people multiple times.
Just not OK as a job... for me. Not OK as a steady diet. Glad others are OK with it but it was very depressing for me. It hit me very early on that every time I was actually doing my job, it was because something bad has happened.

I still keep a red medical bag in my jeep just for emergencies. I've always wanted to go through official EMT training, just don't want the response burden that goes along with it. I enjoy being able to help in an emergency under good samaritan laws. On December 25, 2014 6:29:23 PM AKST, Chuck McCown via Af <[email protected]> wrote: I was an EMT in a former life. Hated it.

I'm currently in Accra, Ghana working on getting a new visa for Sierra Leone. For the first quarter of this year I'm contracting with an international NGO which is providing WAN connectivity to other agencies responding to the Ebola crisis. We are using a mixture of satellite based and terrestrial PTP/PtMP technologies to accomplish the last mile access. Over the next few weeks you may see me posting photos from Freetown, Sierra Leone to the afmug list. If it becomes excessive please let me know. Communicating with you guys back in the US is a big stress relief for me. If anyone wants my direct contact info, please email and I will send back my iridium number and local SIM cards' numbers. REQUEST: If anyone knows a fearless EMT/Paramedic who wants to accompany a tower climbing team for multi month periods of time, in exchange for good financial compensation, please get in touch. No Ebola treatment unit entry required. To date, zero aid agency workers who do not have direct personal contact with Ebola patients have contracted the disease. Adventure and relatively low risk. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
