      One time, I had to get my ambulance license renewed (it’s a thing in CA). The lady asked for my state EMT license and I handed her my paramedic license (it says “paramedic” on instead of EMT-P. Paramedic is a level of EMT in the US). She looks at the card, looks at her computer, and hands my license back, saying “no, I need your EMT card. This says paramedic on it.”

      Not going to lie, I was pretty stunned that she split that hair. I asked her to please confirm with her supervisor, which she did, and we all went on our merry way.
