Proud to be a Paramedic and of everyone I work with! Students, Technicians, ECAs, support crews, PTS and even the odd cat that tries to help out! 🟩🩺🚑

Reflecting on shift - Sitting in the FRV on standby, in the same spot I was 4yrs ago as a student with my mentor, thinking back to 6yrs ago when I quit my job and decided to re-train, after a day of tough jobs I can't help but think ... It was worth every second!

My glasses representing me getting a C1 job in the last minute of my shift at 0629 today.

Tired, worn out, broken, desperately waiting for the replacements to arrive!

A short clip that I play to myself when reflecting on Decision Making under (time) pressure

Does anyone know what age you start to remember not to open the oven and look straight in it and get blasted by the heat wave? 🤷‍♂️

30 is fast approaching and its the 2nd time this week I've almost burnt my eyebrows off 🤣🤣🤣

[Para Conor @ParaConor]

My shift tonight had amazing examples of bystanders helping strangers involved in accidents...

The end of it had me backing out of an 🚑 with the CCTV recording and my hand on the emergency button getting abused by a patient who said it was ok because he paid with his taxes 👍

[Para Conor @ParaConor]

@peers_lewis Dont be afraid to ask for help - my first few weeks if I was with a Para started the shift by saying I hadn't been out in 6m due to covid so if I wasn't happy they were coming in the back & we were getting back up 😅
Everyone said they felt safer knowing I would ask for help 🙂

After a rough few days what an absolute pleasure and privilege to deliver not 1 but 2 babies today! 🤰🚑👨‍🍼
