    After conducting my analysis, there were two major areas that showed training gaps that could be hindering the patient care of acute chest pain patients. The first gap found was employees are not trained equally. After conducting surveys, interviews, and focused groups, it was found that employees felt that they were not being trained equally, and there was no way to evaluate paramedics to see if their knowledge was being transferred in their patient care on ACP calls. Besides the national standard training paramedics receive in paramedic school, there is no additional concrete training implemented to make sure paramedics are really understanding what they learned in school, or to build on top of their current knowledge.…

Today’s lesson taught me a few of the things you do in there for me, about how you pump blood for me, panic, and relax for me. Therefore, I plan to care for you for many years to come, by mostly taking things steady, exercising, sleeping, eating and remembering what you do for me even after being taken for granted for so many years. We can start by exercising, a little exercising could help us relax and feel good about ourselves, a little effort won’t affect us.…

It was only my second week on the job in the emergency room when not even a half hour into my shift I witnessed my first cardiac arrest.…
