Paramedics are first res-ponders in emergency situations. Paramedics respond to 911 and emergency calls and give medical attention to people in trauma, and move them to hospitals mostly in County General Hospital for advanced treatment because people's lives are at stake, paramedics work quickly in the field to assess the situation, use their training to stabilize patients as best as they can, using their knowledge that they learn from their Instructor to stop bleeding, use CPR or other techniques to do for injured patient. Paramedics use specialized tools and are expected to lift patients using by backboard or gurney into ambulances for transport to hospitals. As first res-ponders, paramedics start a patient care report, documenting treatments and medications given. While most work in ambulances, some paramedics may be assigned to helicopters (Maverick), they are called Life Flight.

Paramedics interact with patients and their families usually only minutes after trauma has occurred, and must be supportive and understanding of their pain.

Paramedics work in teams, and must work with patients, families, doctors and nurses in tense situations.

Listening to patients and people on the scene will help determine what course of action to take, and calmly speaking to people to tell them what will happen is very helpful in this job.

Paramedics need to be able to assess the situation and administer the right medicine and procedures to save people's lives.
