Our primary objective was to compare the accuracy of EMTs to that of paramedics in identifying low-acuity pediatric encounters.

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.

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 declined. I have made many myself.

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.
