A Day in the Life of a Hero: EMS

Part Three of the series A Day in the Life of our Heroes. I tagged along with a paramedic/EMT pair for a shift to see what their job entails and why they choose to be in the business of saving lives.

[@thespaceelefant2441]

Im an EMT.
I'm no hero, and I'm not made of stone. Still only human

[@jfcwracing1654]

John Marubayashi I was going to say. I wouldn't exactly call us heros but I'm glad we all aren't know as ambulance drivers

TANK YOU FOR ALL THOSE WHO

[@shawnrichards949]

Shawn Richards I want to volunteer to be a paramedic and I want to take classes because I know who he I knew Cote

[@warthunder_The_scalemodeler_za]

I am a level 3 provider and i have witnessed 2 deaths, a pediatric and adult

[@grill.daddy_3433]

I think the pediatric deaths would strike me the hardest.

[@alyssafawcett4096]

I want to be a paramedic

[@camd4648]

You have to be ready, willing, and able to see way more people die than you'll actually save. You'll also have to be ready to get what seems like pointless calls as well for people who are just after attention etc. If you can get passed that, You'll make a fine EMT-P.

[@OneSkiWonder]

Be prepared to learn and memorize at least one medication per day. How it works, why it works, what other meds will work with or against it, when to give it, when to not give it. Also, medication math is brutal. Converting weight from pounds to kilograms, and then figuring out how much medication you can give to a patient to save them, without killing them.
Also, the hardest part in my opinion, is not being able to talk to my significant other about my calls. The bad ones especially. She can tell something is bothering me, and legally, I can't say more to her than "bad call". It's stressful. EMS workers have the highest divorce rate out of all the careers.

[@michaelconstantine6581]

Alyssa Fawcett most calls are for chest pain... that's why I left and went to search and rescue

[@camd4648]

Michael Constantine It's not for everyone. All about personal preference.

[@michaelconstantine6581]

Dunn yeah I was doing ems for God knows how long. But something about search and rescue with the structure fires is just where my speed is lol

[@tylerrankin3578]

2-3 hours of sleep tf

[@sneak916]

Tyler Rankin I feel like that’s typically for people doing 24hr shifts. Most companies in my area do 12hr shifts max since anything over that can cause fatigue and that’s dangerous for this career.

[@KlenFreak23_]
