The Silent Heroes
Motor Vehicle accidents are a daily and common thing for our families and friends. Accidents always receive plenty coverage by the media, but the paramedics and other rescuers go un-thanked for the work that they do.
Horrific scenes work subconsciously on these paramedics on a daily basis. A paramedic once said that: “Our job is a passion, a calling. The desire to be a paramedic is in your blood. It is in no way a decision you can enter to lightly. Neither is it a career on chooses for the money, hours or work environment.
Losing a patient is a terrible think to face, something which we have to deal with constantly. The hardest part of the job is when you are unable to save a child or baby. They are robbed of their lives much too soon. Losing older patients are slightly easier as they have at least had a chance to experience life.”
“Occasionally we respond to scenes where the patient is a friend, family member, acquaintance or colleague, these are particularly difficult o deal with, especially when you know there is nothing you can do to save their life”
