Hey folks, welcome to the Dark Horse podcast Inside Rail. I am sitting with a fascinating guest this

morning. We have with us Harry Fisher. Now, Harry Fisher will not be well known to most of you.

He is a paramedic, former EMT, and he has been quite outspoken about what he has seen in the field, on the front lines,

in the aftermath of the emergence of COVID, and then especially the emergence of the vaccines

following the rollout in 2021.

I'm a paramedic that did CPR and a Pfizer line.

So without further ado, Harry, welcome to Dark Horse.

Thank you very much for having me.

I appreciate it, Brett.

Nice to meet you, dog.

So I've been following your posts with a good degree of fascination and trepidation for some time now.

And I think probably the place to start is just to establish who you are and therefore what you know. I've said that you are a paramedic,

but I think for most of the audience, the distinction between an EMT, a paramedic, and maybe even an ambulance driver is a little

subtle. So what is a paramedic and how does it compare to those other things?

Well, first thing you do to, you become an EMT. So I became an EMT back in 1997.

EMT would be our basic level. Those are the people that typically drive the ambulance. I count on my EMT would be our basic level. Those are the people that typically drive the ambulance.

I count on my EMTs to keep me alive and my patients alive. Our EMTs are supposed to know the ambulance in and out, know where our supplies are just as well as I do or better.

So whenever I ask them for something or I need assistance with something, they know where to grab it and what to do.

I utilize my EMT like a doctor would utilize their nurse in an ER.

Because when we're on scene, like if I go up to a code, someone who has died, I can look at my EMT and just ask them for anything and they'll pretty much have it for me.

So that's what an EMT does. And then you go to more years of school to become a paramedic. And after years of school, you become a paramedic, and then you don't ever really drive again typically. You're not driving an ambulance. You're in the back. How many additional years of school? It's total of, I went to a total of two years, two years of school.

You can fast track like a little bit less than that if you, if you're capable or have someone
