As paramedics, whilst we often take great offence at being called ambulance drivers, the question is, when it’s our turn to drive, what exactly is it that we are providing?

EMTs are not just “ambulance drivers,” although that’s certainly a critical part of their occupation. Many EMTs work on a 911 emergency response ambulance. Sometimes that is with another EMT, or it may be with a higher-level emergency healthcare provider such as a paramedic. Shifts most commonly are 12 or 24 hours.
