      I mean I guess that when I am assisting in the stabilization of a patient so that we can air flight them to the hospital, I’m not a first responder because I don’t have a “certificate” as an EMS. 😂🤣 I mean I only LITERALY keep them alive while flying through the air which is, I mean not nearly as difficult as say ummm… driving an ambulance. Pffttt no, not at all.  
      By their illogical definition, I guess I’m not a first responder despite responding to wrecks and tragedies constantly where in which I help stabilize patients for transport. Oh! Maybe I’m a first and a half reaponder! 🤔
