The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Paramedic

DECEMBER 1, 2020

Starting weekend jobs or “before paramedic” careers holds the same allure. Since the 1970s there have been ambulance shows on television that portray the cool, slick and unshakeable medic. We hope that firefighters and police colleagues view us as equals. As if we know what we are doing without hesitation. It’s just a joke.”

EMTs are not just “ambulance drivers,” although that’s certainly a critical part of their occupation. For EMTs and patients, an ambulance is more than transportation to the hospital. Many EMTs work on a 911 emergency response ambulance. Many fire departments require that all of their firefighters also be EMTs.

As one of those "soft skills" integral to the paramedic's toolkit, it is encouraging to see how widely it appears in research, training, leadership and culture. In the current climate, paramedics are feeling both the warmth of widespread empathy, for the role we are playing in pandemia, and the contrasting cold of its absence.

In one year, you can become certified at something that makes money and use the remaining two years to get your paramedic or other branch-offs of Emergency Medical Skills.

When paramedics respond to emergencies, they may have someone in the back of their vehicle with an oxygen mask on who seems fine sitting down, but could pass out when they stand up and start walking around. In situations like this, the patient’s vital signs will be taken in the back of the ambulance. That’s for sure.

I hop into the ambulance, and log onto the CAD (Computer Assisted Dispatch) device. Just as well I had a refresher on childbirth and obstetrics two weeks prior from an ITT (Infant Transport Team) paramedic instructor. This memory is still fresh in everybody’s mind: paramedics, firefighters, and hospital staff.

I started riding on an ambulance as soon as I could… in the same county as Dad. Older EMTs, paramedics, and even some of the police officers and firefighters. I had started gaining the trust of those around me, and my friends and I at my squad have made a ton of memories, both on the ambulance and off.

Signs entering ambulance bays around the US, and the world for that matter; point out in no uncertain terms that “HEROES WORK HERE”. We say it to cops and firefighters because we as a society have no idea why someone would willingly run to danger while others run away from it. Since the entry of COVID-19, EMS has noticed a difference.
