Paramedic

After high school as a young adult I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do as a career and I what direction I wanted my life to take. I decided to try something different and enlist in the Army. While in the Army as a recruit I made a life altering decision to volunteer for the 75th Ranger Regiment. Nothing has had a stronger impact on my life than my 9 years in the Ranger Regiment because there I learned that if I put my mind to a task I could succeed, I found a career field that I am good at and…

His extremities were cold and sweaty, his blood pressure was 90/60mmHg and his pulse rate was 130beats/min. The paramedics had also reported a litre of blood had been lost at the scene.

Zimmerman claimed it…

It was a warm summer day, but coming up on fall. Ruby, a Boston city girl that had a coming up birthday was out at a car dealership looking for a car. "All I wish for my birthday is a new car!" She beamed at her parents. All year, she's been hyped for the day she gets her car, and she has really been wanting a new, shiny, red Chevy Equinox. She was also out going to get food for Rowdy, her fuzzy, midnight black dog, that was very large. Ruby was wearing her favorite white dress that…

There are few things I remember. I was painting, felt dizzy, the next thing I remember is talking to the paramedic as I was lying on the floor. I remember being in the hospital, but not going to the hospital. I remember talking to my friends in the hospital, then I remember talking to the doctors, them telling me I had had three seizures in the past two days. Three weeks later, I remember waking up on a Wednesday with a killer headache. The worst headache I had ever had, but I don’t remember how…

Non-Emergency Patient Transport (NEPT) evolved from an identified need in the Victorian health care system in the late 1990’s when there was a major reform of the (then) Metropolitan Ambulance Service. The main reason for the reform was that many patients were being delayed in their appointments, as ambulances were being redirected to emergency cases. During the early years of the new century, many lobbied for change, as the service was unregulated. In October 2003 the State Parliament passed…

The grandmother was interested in the time frame of the program, what the job placement rates were like and how much he would be making as a licensed paramedic. I explained all the statistics to both the student and the grandmother and they seemed to be content with the answers. The prerequisites for the program was not eligible for financial aid, so the grandmother would be paying for 12 credits out of…

We, as humans, have to remember that we are not invincible. We cannot think that, we cannot believe that, and most importantly, we can’t do things that we wouldn’t do if we didn’t think we were invincible. This is the day that lesson came and slapped me in the face. This is my lesson. “DING!” There’s the recess bell! The best part of the day! We actually have two recesses here, the first one is around ten and the second one is at two. No recess before or after lunch! This is my Second Grade…

In a tiny, run-down bar on the sketchy side of town, I sit at a booth with a hardened, grizzled war veteran who was drowning his sorrows with cheap liquor out of amber-tinted shot glass. Consequently,—because of Veteran's Day—in honour of those who served, I was asked to interview Colonel William Cohen McAdams—who served in the army, airforce, and the navy SEALs—for an article in the university paper. He was a decent-looking fellow—for someone who was missing an eye. Ironically enough, he…
