I wish you all the luck. It is one of the best jobs in the world, and politics aside (they are what will get to you the most!) you can get as much good feeling from just helping get social care for some elderly person as much as from a successful resuscitation (very few and far between!). I wish you a long and fulfilling career.

why, thank you very much for the support :) i think it will be a very benfiting job, i love to help people, which is one of the reasons i want to join

To help people is the main ingredient for being a good medic, this is a job you must really want to do not have to do.

As I have mentioned before, just remember you are treating a person with clinical needs, just take time to get to know people. I love talking and learning about the lives people live, especially from the "old uns". Sometimes you maybe all they see for days and someone who takes an interest in them makes them feel special and that can be as good as any treatment or Morphine!

[Paragazz]

Not so much a "ride" but a crash in these vans!

Whelen make both lightbars and Sirens...they do indeed have their own 'signature' sounds - each manufacturers have different pitches and frequencies even if they are called the same thing ie Wail, Yelp

your words are very powerful, u seem like a very nice person, i'm glad theres someone like you out there helping people :)

[Paragazz]

Welcome to the mad house!

Hope you have a good course. Just remember two things when you come out on the road.

1. Treat every patient like you or your relatives would like to be treated.

2. Remember you are dealing with people and not just a patient. Treat the feelings and anxieties as well as the diagnisis and also remember that just because you wear a green uniform does not mean you are immune from problems, so sympathise and empathise with the people you meet but do not patronise them.

unfortunatly ( sorry bad spelling) where i live people dont move for an ambulance and when i was at a traffic light me and my mum were following an ambulance and we came to a green light and pplz were stopped and the person at the front moved but every one else didnt so eventually the ambulance had to go around them through a red light just avoiding other cars. i live in australia in beerwah but it happened in brisbane or something its all too commen for pplz nit to move for them
