its only the beginning...

Greetings,

Clinical placement has just finished for me. I feel a little sad it's over and relieved. Sad because just when I was getting use to the job like late nights, long hours, stressful situations and getting acquainted with everyone at the ambulance station, my time there was pretty much over. Relieved because I can now focus on university again which I wasn't looking forward too because all I wanted to do is do more ride-along's with the paramedics in the ambulance.

Back to assessments and catching up on studying aye....

I finally understand the nature of my future career, my sanctuary. This experience has made me more eager of becoming a paramedic! Although I didn't get to experience the potential, extreme, or stressful, traumatic situations paramedics will face on-road. I have now established a strong foundation with the 'disillusion' of paramedics. Most people think paramedics or ambo's do all the exciting, fast, pump action, and adrenaline rushing stuff. In a different perspective or perception, ambo's are pretty much transporters and public relaters. How I see paramedics now is most of our treating is done by patient communication, basically talking to our patients and educating the community.

People don't realize the ambulance service is an 'emergency service'. Probably one of the disillusion's of the job. We are abused, and used incorrectly. Because of this it defeats the purpose of our real jobs, saving lives. That's a small rant on what is happening around with ambulance service, anyways it's our job to respond to every triple zero call we get. It doesn't matter if its a joke, a minor problem and serious, ambulance will always respond. We have a responsibility from the government.

Still...I want to become a paramedic!

Until next time
