Greetings,
So far with my clinical placement here with the Western Eagle County Ambulance District has been smooth sailing, again. I've had 4 responses in the last week with 4 out of 3 are non-transported. 1 of them was quite interesting, had a long term diabetic patient that became unresponsive on-route to scene. Basically the paramedic administered Dextrose 50% (Sugar) through an IV line and literally 1-3mins later the patient wakes up. I was truly amazed at the response. The paramedic on duty was really happy with this patient because usually diabetic patients coming from an unresponsive state is usually spitting and fighting. This particular patient was calm, cooperative, and actually happy to see the paramedic. Yeah I found that really interesting.
I finally got to see one of the major hospitals in the county because we were called to transport a patient from the Gypsum Urgent Care Clinic (GUCC) to a hospital. Its in the eastern side of the county and it was quite similar to how hospitals are set in Australia. Aside from that they did have different facilities to accommodate the types of the patients they get seasonally, like in winter time. Snow + Tourists (Means increase population) = Increase workload of emergency services and hospitals.
Now that I've establish what I did last week, now what am I going to eat for lunch and later I'm planning to walk around Gypsum and purposely get lost, nah that would worry my parents.
What have I done in the past, I've been studying. Doing a degree in Clinical Practice
What have I done now, still studying and finishing up my last semester of university officially.
What have I done for later, planning, more of thinking about what's stored for me next year. I have made some options:
Study again and take a honours program but I don't think that would work for me because I don't have the grades or the brains.
Now that I've tried out for 2 ambulances services in 2 different States in Australia and have been declined, maybe I'll try for a 3rd time up North. If it happens a 3rd time I'll have to take a year off. I'll have to be more productive with life and deal with failure.
I'm open to move anywhere. I'm ready to take part in my career anywhere.
This is probably my likely option, try find an ordinary job for a year (could be more) and still practice in a medical sense of volunteering or paid.
Plans that seem to have one way or another, I'm afraid of that. Definitely there's a part of me that I have to make a decision but you know I'm going to keep Trusting God with his power to guide me in the place he wants me to be and a decision that brings glorify and righteousness. He's in control.
I find it difficult, I struggle with it and I guess that's what a follower, believer and lover of Christ is.
Sometimes its never what you expect it to be. I wanna be a paramedic.
