What EMS is and what EMS is not.

[Tanya Smith]

EMS is the Emergency Medical Service
We are Paramedics plus Surgeons and other hospital staff members.

We are trained to take care of victims on sight with injuries such as:

G.S.W(s)
Stab wounds
Broken Bones
Neck/back injuries
Poisoning(s)
Difficulty Breathing
And many others:

Now EMS DOES Deal With the following:

C.S.I Clean ups
or with fires accidents, car crashes and such.
EMS have got every equipment they have now.

And so on:

A paramedic is limited to what s/he can do at any type of medical incident depending on his or her training level.
