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.

The NHTSA Office of EMS released a significant document last year called the EMS Agenda 2050 that was carefully crafted to set a bold vision for the next 30 years of paramedicine by clearly differentiating the focus of care from its original definition in the 1996 EMS Agenda for the Future.

The ambulance responded.

We have a large number of graduate paramedics starting with Ambulance Victoria this year, so it’s probably a good time to revisit a topic that seems to receive surprisingly little attention in an industry that relies so heavily upon it. This means that wherever possible the closest ambulance is sent to high priority cases.

I now understand why when I first tried getting into the ambulance service, many medics warned me to get out while I can, telling me only crazy people enter the ambulance service. It is always exciting getting replies from readers and seeing so many people interested in paramedicine and the passion and excitement they bring.

I remembered his words in the back of the ambulance to me, “All I wanted was to get home to my family.” His face was so pale when we arrived at the hospital.

Signs entering ambulance bays around the US, and the world for that matter; point out in no uncertain terms that “HEROES WORK HERE”. But if we truly want paramedicine to flourish, then we need to identify those who do not meet the standard and move them along. Since the entry of COVID-19, EMS has noticed a difference. People wave.
