Great interview. I agree with everything he said regarding how to handle an emergency. It's weird it's almost like you develop a numbness to it. My very first code as a first responder 16 years ago I froze, now I'm singing in my head staying alive. Basically once you do something enough you just develop a routine. In a trauma I'd immediately visually scan for life threatening injuries then hop on vitals to look for immediate threats only determined by vitals, after vitals I do my head to toe. All this seems long but can be done in 1-2 minutes. Cardiac arrest I always immediately started by checking for a pulse and then dropping an airway or if I was on compressions applying the aed and starting compressions
Find work 🤙🏻the degree of growth and hindsight thats come from this work has been stunning for me. I stopped at .30 compressions.and got a resounding 😮 "keep going!"
It's unfortunate that Military Medics can't transfer all their skills and experience into the private sector. You can perform surgery on the battlefield, but not qualified to wipe a civilian ass when you get out. That needs to change. 🙏🇺🇸
SF medics get their Paramedic, and regular Army Combat medics (68W) get their EMT-B now. The Army also makes it pretty easy for SF medics to get into PA programs.
@@thestonedsailor6072 I’m not 100% sure, but I think they get their EMT-B as well! I hope so anyway. Like you said, whether it’s a corpsman, combat medic or at the level of SF/SOCM certification, these people deserve civilian recognition.
Amazing interview. I'm 18 and aspire to become a Ranger medic. I am planning to eventually become 18D as well. Would you know my chances of being selected as 18D if I have prior service as a Ranger medic?
Join the army, get a shot at 😊SFAS in your contract. After basic and AIT you'll go through months of hell to become a green beret. After that, based on the needs of the army, you MAY be sent to the special operations medical school and spend 20 months to become an 18D. Your recruiter will have more info, but make sure you're in VERY good shape (I.E 100 push ups at once) And very intelligent and disciplined as well. good luck.
Don’t get an 18x contract. Join as a 68W, you will learn wonderful skills as a medic then you can put in a special forces selection packet. If you don’t get selected you go back to being a medic. If you don’t get selected when you have an 18x contract odds are you’ll go be an 11b or worse, needs of the army.
Working with the understanding that the patient is someone's someone and regardless of everything Be Kind.
Thanks for the free learning kit

I will listen to this one on repeat. This interview has been the most informative to where a beginner can start. Thank you.
Great interview! Thank you for your insights.
Even basic medical knowledge will prove to be very valuable in the field just knowing how to apply a TQ or sealing a sucky chest wound saves lives.❤😅
New subscriber here. Great interview, thank you.
Thanks!
Good interview and even better hair!

@@incognitoflamingo869 That's great news. Hopefully, the Navy's doing that for their Independent Duty Corpsman (IDC).

@Spike-qt7tx so the Navy doesn’t get their Corpsman their EMT automatically? Thats a bummer!
@Spike-qt7tx Interesting. Thats cool you were able to get your EMT, while serving as an MP.

How to become a 18D I want to become one, my dream job, what’s the process
