bk613, Just saw your post about the number of ‘jobs’ a paid EMT or Medic will see on a shift. It is not true, they will normally see 2 or 3 patients on a regular shift.
EMS has a lot of downtime and no one is rushing to leave the hospital to make themselves available for the next job.
EMS is a very low paying job, very few have this as their primary job or stay at this for a long time.
