Have you ever seen the people on the TV show Grey's Anatomy who run into the A&E department with a patient on a stretcher and shout numbers and incomprehensible things at the doctors? Well, I'm one of those people a paramedic.
If there's a road accident or a sudden illness, I'm the first medical person to arrive. I assess the situation and give immediate care and drugs to the patient. While the ambulance takes the patient to the hospital, I continue to look after and monitor the patient's health. When we arrive at the hospital, I tell the doctors the situation and give them vital information about the state of the patient.
