    AbstractAnybody who screens EMS field candidates will tell you, not just anybody can do EMS. You need a good brain to pass your tests, earn your certs and think your way through calls. You need the manual dexterity and multitasking capabilities of an ED nurse. You need the maturity and psychomotor skills of a professional driver. You need a warm and willing heart. And, no matter how talented you are in all of those areas, you need to be able to lift--often, a lot.
