The Overrun

MARCH 27, 2022

I apologize in advance to Sebastian Junger and his excellent book, The Perfect Storm. If you’ve read it or seen the movie with Mark Wahlberg; (and you should read the book), you know it’s about a combination of circumstances that come together in an unprecedented way to cause devastation.

I’ve read all his books, seen him live, and watched all of his series. In his book, Kitchen Confidential , he talks about the business of cooking food a lot like colleagues I know talk about EMS.

You’ve spent the money on your EMT class, you’ve worked hard, and now you are wondering what you’re about to face on the NREMT cognitive exam.

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 standing in the queue to be booked in and triaged, they figure out how the system works and see the different processes in play. How much will it cost?

So if anyone can clarify this for me, My understanding after leaving the test is, we're supposed to apply flat text book answers to these scenarios where in real world scenarios we'd likely do it a lot differently? If that's the case, I'll try to mesh with the tests mindset better next time. Thanks for reading my spiel.

That’s how I learned about precepting paramedic and EMT students. I had a reputation as a tough preceptor. I was the one that people either sought out because they wanted the challenge; or the one that they avoided.

Undoubtably, an emergency medical technician, or EMT, was working to provide the best standard of medical care on what may have been the worst day in the patient’s life.
