Omg, here we go again. I'm not trying to act like Mr. Badass...I'm not trying to compare myself with anyone on here. I'm not cocky or arrogant or naive about medicine. I know there's a lot more for me to learn. The assumption I keep hearing is that I think I'm already a doctor and know everything. No. I know as much as a paramedic student. I just brought that up to show that I so have SOME experience in medicine, not that I am a medical student or a physician. I brought that up so I wouldn't hear "oh, well you have no idea what medicine is because you are only 16...." when I have kinda seen what it's like. I don't see myself coming back on here 10-15 years and seeing that I was arrogant or cocky. Because I was never trying to be. The words "I'm better than you" or anything that can be brought to that point never was typed by me on this page. In 10-15 years, I will come back and be still shocked by the way you took it

What I keep hearing: "Oh you think your badass....you can do that...well try doing this."
Did I ever say that I anything and everything? No. And me diagnosing myself was also just something just to show how in love with medicine I am. The doctors at the hospital loved me. They didn't think I was arrogant or cocky either. They would come in my room randomly whenever they were free or bored just to talk. You keep saying how I'm arrogant or cocky. Possibly you took it wrong, because believe me. I wouldve heard it by now if I was. 16 years old.....if im as cocky as you say, I'd have no friends and everyone would hate me. That's not the case is it?

No, there's no such thing as "too fast". Anyone who tells you otherwise is just trying to slow you down. I don't care about the rest of the stuff you said, but I just wanted to address that concern. A lot of people can be perceived as a different personality on the internet and I'm not going to assume otherwise. Who knows more and who knows less is all relative and those things will result in a continuous argument.
Having any edge/prior experience, will only help you go through med school. I suggest to prepare as much as you can and don't listen to those people who say the opposite - party as much as you can before med school crap. Life is a struggle, get used to it and work hard. In the end, everyone has to take the same exams. This is where you have to show your true colors.
So, no, you're not going to fast. In fact, imo, you can go faster.

What state is this? You couldn't even take EMT-Basic until you were 18 where I lived.

I thought about this too, how would someone so young have already completed their EMT-B and EMT-I? Correct me if I misunderstand the process of getting EMT-P certification, but I thought you had to move up the ranks starting with Basic?

Remember when you said "I can run a code like the back of my hand" and "I diagnosed myself"? I do.
Haha yes! This is just the kind of entertainment I was looking for when I clicked hSDN!
FYI FutureERdoc, people are assuming you're arrogant because what we see is I'm 16, i know how to run a code bla bla bla...Doesn't matter if you can run a code and are the smartest person ever, still makes you arrogant. And don't give me that "I never actually said I 100% know how to run a code" crap. People don't often make personal judgments on what others actually literally say. Get used to it.
But, welcome to SND. Choose your words wisely because ppl here LOVE to up their self-esteem by picking apart random posts.
(Keep saying arrogant sh$t though, its awesome!)

People who falsely elevate themselves in any field -- musicians saying "I can play that" when they could fight through maybe the first 20 measures, non-medical types saying "yeah I know" when you talk to them about whatever detailed, slightly complex stuff you're learning -- are annoying in general. Though I do give the kid props for being above most 16 year olds to some extent... so to speak.
Most people let it slide because it's just a feel-good self-defense mechanism of sorts, which is perfectly fine, but it does feel like a sharp stick in the side of whatever you've accomplished from time to time.
I think lots of disciplines are cool, but I can say that I don't know my ass from a hole in the ground in some of them. I know a lot about some things totally outside medicine, but I don't pitch myself as anything other than an enthusiast who can be handily outsmarted by a person in the field.

Yes you are. I'm about to start clinical medical rotations and I'm still naive about medicine. The fact that you don't think you are further supports other people's arguments that you are ignorant.

PILE PILE PILE ... don't mind me as I dogpile on the OP ... PILE PILE PILE
Seriously kid, "know your place" is probably the best advice I can give you at the moment. You think doctors take kindly to some hotshot kid rolling through thinking he can do their job better than their 10+ years of experience? Please, you'll be doing scut for the rest of your life if not thrown out of their service. Not to mention endangering your patient's lives doing things you only assume you can do.

All you are above-average at is being a troll. Oh and I guess having an intense superiority complex. Everyone does that but you're exceptional.

Look you dumb bitch. If none of you have anything nice to say, get the **** off my thread. You are an immature piece of ****. You are calling me arrogant, but who would tell someone that. Go **** urself u lifeless little **** and stay away from my thread. Also, I'm not explaining "how" I am taking a paramedic course, bcuz I'm tired of explaining and getting crap insults every time I try to be nice and fix the misconceptions. I've been going through two pages of **** and all I hear is insults from 30+ year old lifeless losers on a 16 year old "kid." I'm questioning if any of you are doctors. If so, you are all horrible ones. If you think I'm so arrogant and cocky, and you want to make statements like that...LEAVE MY ****ING THREAD. How can u say that to someone. And call yourself a doctor. Well guess what you dumb *****, you arent doctors nor will you ever be one. The statements made on here are inconsiderable and very rude, and I'm tired and fed up with it. Take your dumb ass and leave my thread.
Those 30 year old "lifeless" losers you talk about are the physicians that will make sure you stay out of medical school, especially with that attitude. 🙂

Lol, are you ******ed? How? How will they even know who I am. And even still, I have the chief of neurology at a major hospital writing me a letter of recommendation for college. And I could get more. 🙂
Btw: for laughs:
Eligibility to attend an EMS First Responder, EMS First Responder Bridge, or an Emergency Medical Technician-Basic course in Virginia requires that you must:
(1) Be proficient in reading, writing and speaking the English language.
(2) Be a minimum of 16 years of age at the beginning date of the certification course. If less than 18 years of age, you must provide the course coordinator with a completed parental permission form with the signature of a parent or guardian verifying approval for enrollment in the course. If you are less than 18 years of age and affiliated with an EMS or other Public Safety agency, you must also provide the Course Coordinator with documentation from an Officer of the agency stating you will be covered by the agencies insurance while attending the course.

OH MY GOD, yes I am. Unless you are going to go to EVERY medical school in the world and tell them to watch out for an arrogant cocky kid who is an EMT, then you have no chance. On top of the fact that I have many doctors that do like me, and believe me, their recommendations will outweigh yours. A doctor with 30+ years of experience ASKED me to do an internship with him over Christmas break. Obviously he likes me. And there's another recommendation letter there. Like I've been saying for the past 20 or so post, maybe I might have worded my post a little cocky/arrogant, but I'm not in person. I don't think I'm the best at everything or that I can do the job of a Physician. All I can do and will ever do is what the scope of my training offers. A nurse asked me to start a blood transfusion the other day, and I told her no...and guess what my response was, "Because it is out of the scope of my training, and I do not want to put the patients life at risk." but running codes, intubating, starting IV's, etc...are all in my scope of training. Maybe if you meet me in person your views will change, but I really feel that the comments on here were very rude...and I can't believe you (whoever just responded to me going off) for supporting someone who just told me to commit suicide. I would never say that to anyone, especially not to someone half my age. And yet I'm the arrogant and ignorant kid? I think many of you should look at yourselves. Because even though I said I am not comparing myself to you 50 post ago, I'm still getting insulted and worst of all, being told to drive off a bridge. It's really pitiful. It's okay to tell me that my statement was arrogant or cocky or whatever, but almost everything said on here was uncalled for. And yet even as you read this post, you probably still aren't going to see it. That's the sad part. Out of 67 or so post, only maybe three responded to my question. I can see how my post might be arrogant and cocky, and if I could go back, I would re-word it...because there is a lot of misconceptions...but I have never insulted any of you (until the last post) out of the entire 65+ post on this thread...but yet I'm getting pounded on by posters who need to obviously boost their self-esteem.
