So, I'm new to this lifestyle and actually go on my first shift Saturday. I won't lie, I am a little nervous as to the visual nature of what I can be seeing and dealing with. My question is to any more experienced EMT's out there, how do you handle your first real bad call during and afterwards? I imagine it isn't something most people can just eat a sandwich immediately after the first few times. Is there a mind state I should be prepared for or am I inevitably going to be shocked and throw up after. I have no intentions of quitting and all intentions of learning to stomach the job. Any advice would be great and helpful. Thanks!
