As the title's said, what part of being an EMT-B should I be REALLY familiar with before actually working? I've heard some pretty scary horror stories and I'll be damned if someone gets hurt because of something I could've prevented or slowed down. I'm pretty good at controlling hemorrhage and shit like DKA and NKH but I'm still kinda ass at OBGYN and how to manage shit like ICP. I'm pretty good at following directions I guess but I'm kinda dumb and kinda slow at doing things besides a TQ so I'm nervous.

Kinda like the title says, when does it become too much weight loss? I'm asking this mostly because I'm confused about my own weight loss. I've been trying to slow down my weight loss to focus more on maintenance and muscle growth but I can't seem to be able to. It's not like I'm eating that well either, I eat like shit most of the time(Breakfast was like a cinnamon bun[470 cal], cereal[350 cal], and fruit[200 cal] and lunch was a burger, fries, and apple pie[~900 cal]. I'm about to have some kinda meat, carb, fruits+veggies, and cake for dinner too).

At the beginning of this week I was 172 lbs, now I'm 167.8 and I really don't know why. I do work out a lot but that's certainly not explaining this amount of weight loss. I'm eating like at least a solid 2000 calories a day and only run maybe like 15 - 18 miles a week? I work out 6 days a week but it's like maybe 30 minutes of actually working out. I kinda think that maybe it's cause I'm in a pretty hot area but I can't be sure.

I could just be freaking out for nothing too cause I did just end my period and it could just be the bloating going away but I just want to be sure. I've lost almost 65 pounds at this point in the span of 9 months and I have a pretty intense physical event coming up and I know I'll probably lose like 5 pounds there so I kinda want to start maintaining so my energy levels don't tank. I would go to the doctor about it but I figure that maybe I'm making a mountain out of a molehill. Am I just overreacting and this is normal?
