I am not an EMT or a paramedic. However I can tell you it is a busy and intense job. They are the first responders to any situation and often times they put their own life on the line to save someone else's. It is challenging also because they have to sake split decisions, and be able to ride in a rocking box (EMS unit) and try not to get car sick. Typically they are stationed in a fire department. In Indiana, they work 24 hours on and 48 off.
