Good muskox above! On 11-18-97, TIMUR CETIN was
     talking to LORENZO PULICI about Re: New!...

TC>Hi!
     Hi Timur!
TC>I am 18 years old and a volounteer at the Order Of St.John Ambulance
  >Service in Bremen, Gemany.
     Ever neat.  I'm 18 too, and volunteer for the same thing but here
in Canada.  We do it a little different, but not by much. :)
TC>What exactly means EMT-Basic degree? Is there also something like an EMT-
  >advanced degree?
     EMT stands for Emergency Medical Technician.  I don't know what
levels you have in Germany, so I can't draw any parallels for you.  In
Ontario, EMT-B is roughly equivalent to an EMR, Emergency Medical Responder, 
but the requirement up here to work an ambulance service (St. John 
doesn't count) is currently an EMCA (Emergency Medical Care Assistant, 
I think).  There's EMT-B, EMT-I and EMT-A.  I know B stands for 
Basic, but I'm not sure about the I and the A... Intermediate and 
Advanced makes sense, but I could be waaaay off the mark. :)

     Sounds like you do the same sort of things I do around here.  Are
you considering a career in emergency medicine, or content with St.
John?  I don't know much about St. John in Germany, I wouldn't mind
hearing more.
