Then imagine working 24 hour shifts only to return home and sleep for a few hours before returning to your second job and doing it all over again just so you can provide for your family. This is the life of emergency medical technicians across the country and many others like them. Now imagine that the teenager next door that work at the local fast food chain makes

I will always remember waking up before the sun and torpidly gathering my things for the day. I’d step out into the crisp, chilly air holding my mother’s hand. The drive was always silent as the warmth of the heater and the lull of the road begged me to sleep just a bit more. More often than not, my mother would be forced to carry my limp body into my aunt’s house. A quick peck on the cheek signaled her departure. This was a regular day for me as a child. My mother had early mornings on call as an

In comparison to the general population, paramedics have a higher incidence of chronic conditions such as obesity, dyslipidaemia, hypertension and digestive disorders (Anstey, Tweedie, & Lord, 2016). One of the many contributing factors to theses undesirable illnesses is diet. The unique working environment poses challenges to the essential task of food consumption for paramedics.

Part B A major component of the care Paramedics provide is the assessment of a patient’s physical status, which is the ground for any further treatment. The assessment method that an Advanced Care Paramedic follows is a systematic assessment referred to as the Primary Survey.

I chose to research a paramedic because I would like to help save lives. I believe that I will never have a dull moment running with the EMS. My family is full of nurses, saving lives every day. I chose to take my saving lives to a different level and setting. Something about standing in a hospital, going patient to patient isn’t my thing. I need more excitement and commotion.
