I have been struggling with the skills portion of the paramedic class and it has come to the point where I have failed ACLS and have now been dropped from the program. So, it is with regret that I post what will be the final post to this blog and thank everyone who has stopped by and read the blog and shared this experience with me.
Thanks For Sharing The Journey!

PS: I may find another area to blog about in EMS, but not right away.
Aww! I just discovered your blog and was about to "follow" then see your news. I'm so sorry!
ReplyDeleteIs there a chance you are going to want to pursue paramedic training again at a later date? Or have you discerned that it just isn't for you, at all?
I considered paramedic training several years ago but realized through other experiences through firefighter training, experience in Ski Patrol, etc., that I just don't have the temperament for the work.
God bless you for trying!
I have learned a have a Tumor in my spinal column and this has rendered me permanently disabled. I have significant weakness on my left side and I have severe problems with balance and am currently living in a nursing home retirement section with no hope of returning to fire-fighting or EMS. It is one of the worst things I have had to face and I have been forced to face it mostly alone.
