Welcome! I am new here, too.
Right on! So.. first shift as Paramedic on a rig I have been working on for the past three years as an AEMT was yesterday. It just got real.. and real fast! Started off with a motorcycle accident at around 10am. That was the sesame seed bun on this on this EMS sandwich. A few "generalized weakness/symptom" calls in between.. and for the bottom bun. . dispatched to residence of 50 year old female complaining of difficulty breathing. Easy enough? Well sure.. but about 5 minutes away from the scene dispatch keys up and reports, "you now have a full arrest, cpr in progress." The rest is history.. history that we know all too well. Definitely more stressful than my first few calls as an EMT-B back in 2010. I think I'm somewhat broken in now. . . hope you all and yours have had a good weeken!
