Every EMT or paramedic who works out in the field knows that a fair percentage, some might say the majority, of our patients, don’t actually need to go to the emergency room.” Is it safe for this patient to go to urgent care? Can they get a prescription written for a new medicine or refill an existing prescription?

One barrier to including children in such programs is a lack of evidence regarding whether paramedics and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) can accurately identify children with low-acuity complaints. Our primary objective was to compare the accuracy of EMTs to that of paramedics in identifying low-acuity pediatric encounters.

When I tell people I work as a paramedic, they automatically relate to the job as being stressful. They often relate to stress as a paramedic from the calls we get, the things we see. I love being a paramedic and did not want to give that up, so I worked various jobs on the side. That is true. That is also true. Absolutely not.

Being a paramedic is not necessarily the job that many of us expect it to be once we get past initial training and into the role itself. Whatever the drivers behind becoming a paramedic are, whatever the reasons we remain in that role may be, and whatever the goals for our futures become, like any profession, we're a diverse bunch.

The paramedics assisted the patient into the ambulance. With the truck in motion, the paramedic focused his attention on his computer screen, asking the patient several questions and inputting her information. Her vitals were stable, and the team placed an IV. We began transport to the hospital. This quickly progressed to dry heaving.

Many years ago I was asked if I wanted to be an expert witness/consultant in court cases involving paramedics. One of the reasons I declined was because I wrote a blog about being a paramedic that included descriptions of calls where things didn’t go as they do on TV (or as the public might expect). I declined.

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.

While the thought process has progressed to embrace damage control resuscitation, and most paramedics will tell you that they limit the administration of crystalloid to patients with a MAP above 65mmHg, some texts and classes still advise the use of up to 1 liter of crystalloid before using blood.
