The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Paramedic

DECEMBER 31, 2020

Working as a paramedic, medic, EMT, prehospital care provider or any other type of first responder differs vastly from any other role in those first seconds or minutes of arrival. While waiting for an ambulance, anxiety climbs along with the pain and discomfort, he has never been in this situation before. Or does it?

During the course of their career, an EMT will go through a pair of pants about every year. Most companies will buy their employed medical responders a new pair as needed. This can either be through reimbursement or some sort of uniform balance made available to employees. Having a comfortable pair of pants can make or break your time on the road.

Most paramedics, police officers, firefighters, first responders, community midwives, district nurses, health visitors, mobile GPs, vets, social workers and other health or public service providers like dogs. Families on scene have occasionally found it obstructive, that my refusal to enter means I don't care. A lot of us love them.
