Article by Karlee De Monnin CASE During my first ambulance ride-along as a fourth-year medical student on an EMS elective, my unit responded to a call for abdominal pain.

So you are an expert on paramedicine, but isn’t it true that you yourself are guilty of (long list of failures)…” They still wanted me, so I then sent them a blog post titled “ Your Hono r” which detailed a call I was on where I dropped a patient and one where I found myself with an empty oxygen tank.

Every ambulance service comprises a group of humans surrounded by infrastructure. Never before has it been more evident that maintaining empathy must not be forgotten or taken for granted.
