Training is training, and it's all beneficial. And a good portion of my training has been in trauma care, medical response, and techniques. It resulted in my getting my EMT license, though I never used it. It all falls under "harder to kill".
- hef19898 5y agoSo you have some basic medical yraining, but no experience. Skills deteriorate when not used in real life.
- notakio 5y agoI train periodically for a small subset of medical response skills, but I'm not dedicating the kind of time to it that would be required to keep the license up to date. And I would hardly assume "no experience"; though I've not done paid paramedic duties, I have been the first person or persons on the scene of multiple vehicular accidents and other trauma events, and able to positively contribute to keeping people alive and stable until FD or medics arrive. If I see something bad happen, I stop to help, because that was what I was trained to do, and because it is the right thing to do.
