Surprising Secrets From EMTs And Paramedics

 

EMTs and paramedics are on the frontline of healthcare. They’re the people who we call on in an emergency and trust to care for us and get us to the ER in a stable enough state to be worked on by the doctors. It’s a high-pressure job and isn’t easy, so you need a special sort of person to fill that roll. At the same time, EMTs are only human, so they have issues of their own and they can make mistakes. We’ve got a handful of stories from folks who work in these jobs, some of which are comforting and other which are slightly disturbing. Check out these thirteen surprising secrets from EMTs and paramedics.
