Emergency Response Pilot
When there is a car crash on the highway, everyone slows down to gape at the wreckage. However, few have ever seen a truly horrific, heavily gory accident in which a Medivac helicopter has come to rush victims off to safety. Air-medical transport saves lives every day in a plethora of situations.

If one meets the specifications and qualifications, saving lives being an Emergency Response Pilot would be extremely rewarding.
Hawaii Air Ambulance has been providing the state of Hawaii with exquisite service for more than 30 years. Hawaii Air Ambulance is a branch of the larger company AMRG (Air Medical Resource Group), which has daughter companies in seven areas/states.

I hope that in time I could become a paramedic in time with 4 years of college I think even saving one person is worth 4 years. choosing the goal was important to me because I really am inspired by the people who save others and i wanna inspire a kid like me. in 10 years I see me going through college for being a paramedic. Being a paramedic takes a lot of commitment that I am ready for. I am excited to help save people's lives. Being a paramedic, involves doing great in high school to get into a great college.
Tactical medicine is an important part of the EMS system because of the many violent scenes ems personnel respond on. Tactical EMS members would be used in more of and active shooter situation where there is still a definite hot zone and a threat to first responders and civilians. There is a statistic from the FBI that states that 1 out of 10 officers are assaulted in their career.
There are different skilled are required for working in EMS like EMS worker must have the ability to tackle high stress, anxiety, because it is the job that can be fast paced as well as emotional and physically demands.

A paramedic is one of the first healthcare professionals on the scene of an emergency. Using a variety of lifesaving techniques, their job is to stabilise the patient for hospital transfer and definitive treatment. This selfless way of life sparked my interest in front line emergency medicine and I have sought out every opportunity to help me achieve my goal of becoming a paramedic. Wishing to obtain a practical insight into administering first aid, I have studied towards and achieved the St John's Youth First Aid and St John's Activity First Aid qualifications. To push myself further, I have taught the St John's Youth First Aid course and the St John's Heart Start course for the last 3 years, alongside a paramedic.

Flight nurse’s and Flight Paramedics performs as members of an aeromedical crew on helicopters (rotor wing), and airplanes (fixed wing) aircraft, providing for in-flight management and care for all types of patients. Responsibilities of this job include the planning and preparation of flight, safety, evaluation of an individual patient's in-flight needs and request appropriate medications, supplies, and equipment to provide continuing care from origination to the destination facility. They act as liaisons between facilities during an interfacility transport and from scene location to trauma center during medical and trauma related emergencies.

Flight nurses and Flight Paramedics have training in mechanical ventilation, hemodynamic support, vasoactive medications, airway, and other intensive care skills.
I was initially drawn to West Point because I want to be a helicopter pilot. In sixth grade I went to Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama, and I participated in the aviation challenge. That experience caused me to want to become a pilot, and it helped show me that the military was a good path to take to become one. I believe that West Point is the best path to becoming a helicopter pilot for me.
My first objective is the protection of life. I am a combat medic in the Army National Guard, so the protection of life, limb, and eyesight is very important to me. As a combat medic, it is possible for me to be the first one at the scene. First, if it involves trauma, I would stop the bleeding with either a tourniquet or a blood-clotting dressing (NAEMT, 2016). Next, I will check the patient’s airways and breathing. Finally, I would examine them further to determine if they need an intravenous therapy to treat for blood loss, dehydration, or medication. I would follow the remaining steps of the protocol given to me by the physician assistant (NAEMT,
There are many responsibilities that go along with the day to day work of an EMT. Some include determining the right course of action after evaluating the patient’s condition, and providing medical aid to stabilize the patient’s condition, like using the AED, performing CPR, preventing spinal damage, ventilation, control severe bleeding, prevent shock, and bandage wounds. EMTs also have to administer activated charcoal, oral glucose, narcan and oxygen. They also have to make sure they transport the patient carefully and safely. They also have to prepare a patient care reports and calm and assure the patient’s family.

Also with thinking fast on the job it will be a lot of things that happening quickly and you would have to be able to think and act just as quickly.
Hi, I am Arryona Pastor and I am obsessed with Harry Potter. I collect many Harry Potter related objects such as wands and statues. I plan on getting my medical degree and then go into the U.S Army to become a Combat Medic Specialist. If I suddenly change my mind about the Army, I would just become a surgical doctor. My goal for this school year is to become more focused and aware of due dates along with test dates. On my free time, I am usually reading a book or on
