Few are a ghoulish as EMT-I and EMT-P students.  |
Intubation is not too bad, I think. Never had to do it in the military. I did place IV's but mostly for practice.
A tracheostomy on the other hand, I wouldn't want to do it. Something about cutting into the neck that feels kinda risky, although it is a life saving measure.
