Paramedics are Awesome

Success as a Paramedic means:

When you're off duty but hear a noise that sounds just like your call tones and you DON'T get up and start getting dressed.

Trying to find a pen on scene and you find it in the FIRST place you look.

Getting through a shift without getting any bodily fluids on your uniform!

When you're patient tells the nurse THE SAME history and story that you got on the scene and told the nurse in your report.

In the middle of the night. What is the most important question you need to have an answer to?

Do I have pants on?

Did I pack snacks...?

...will there be a coffee shop open and nearby after the call...

How many items are on your belt?

Belt? What belt?

Scissors, Radio, Flashlight, Drugs

Scissors, Radio, Flashlight, Knife, Gloves, Phone, Drugs

I have a vest and a belt with Scissors, Radio, Phone, Flashlight, Knife, Gloves, Stethoscope, Pad of Paper, Multiple Pens, and Snacks.

When transporting a patient, success as a Paramedic means:

Getting in and out of the Foothills Hospital with ZERO wait time!

While waiting to transfer care at the U of A, another medic brings a box of Coffee for everyone!

Getting up to the Red Deer Hospital and there is room to park INSIDE!

Doing a wait and return transfer in Camrose and the nursing staff take over patient care and you go get Ice Capps!
