Nah, I'm an EMT but if I do any of my skills above CPR then I can be charged with practicing medicine without a license since my skills actually belong to a doctor (our medical director). For example if I see someone have a full arrest and I'm not at work I can do CPR but if I have a Combitube (tube that goes into the lungs) and breath for them then I practiced without a license, even if I didn't charge the person. If I start IV therapy or give supplemental oxygen then I'm giving drugs.
