As paramedics, whilst we often take great offence at being called ambulance drivers, the question is, when it’s our turn to drive, what exactly is it that we are providing? In Australia, for example, AHPRA’s Paramedicine Board describes paramedics as "practitioners" throughout documentation regarding registration.

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.

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. I have made many myself.

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?

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.

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.
