When I saw that you had responded, my first thought was...UH-OH
Not at all...
but you should know as a CBT Medic....you can't give prescription nothin without a memo on file from your immediate medical authority.

Nicely done on obtaining your EMT-P....but again....you are only authorized to use those skills (and meds) within the limits of your State EMS regulatory entity and in the capacity that there is SOMEONE who is covering your actions to the level of your training.

Of course, I know I am only stating what you already know...

Ain't no one getting out of this world alive. All you can do is try to have some choice in the way you go. Prepare yourself (and your affairs), and when your number is up, die on your feet fighting rather than on your knees. And make the SOBs pay dearly."
