I took the “written” portion of the test this morning. I laugh, because the only thing you have to write on the test is your name and many of the questions are written like this:
33) You are called to the scene of a 28 year old female with a slight shortness of breath. After your assessment, the appropriate treatment is:
a) hitting her in the face with a bat.
b) throwing her headfirst into the truck and driving really fast.
c) applying Oxygen and transporting to the appropriate hospital.
d) shooting her with a tranquilizer dart.
e) All of the above are correct.
Hmmm. Let me think about that one.
Anyway, I talked to the lead instructor after the test and she told me that everyone, to a student, had major trouble with major trauma. I don’t think anyone passed it on the first go’round. That makes me feel better.
This comes next…
I just have to wait three months for the state to do the paperwork. It wasn’t this difficult when I got certified the first time around.
