I am Jeff oliver I am 24 years old. I decided to become a paramedic when i saw two of them treating a driver at the scene of an accident when i was a boy. I started as a trainee ambulance technician , and trained for two and a half years to become a qualified paramedic. Now i administer life-saving procedures myself. It is part of my everyday work to defibrillate the heart of a cardiac arrest, to apply splints to limbs and dress wounds, and to set up drips.
