I was asked, “Where are you going from here?
EMS While serving as an EMT for Elgin Ambulance and Dodge Center Ambulance, I responded with my partner(s) to medical emergencies in the community. My responsibilities involved assessing patients on scene, performing interventions to stabilize their condition, and monitoring them during transport to the hospital. During calls, I would collect information from the patient, take their vital signs, perform bag valve mask ventilation, complete EKGs, insert IV needles, and administer medication as needed, including oxygen. Additional responsibilities included operating the ambulance, transferring care to the receiving facility, and completing documentation of each call. Serving as an EMT convinced me that a career in medicine was right for me.
This year, I experienced both a personal and academic obstacle that correlate with one another. In January, I started the year long Medical Assisting program at my school. Prior to beginning this program, I was so excited to be getting a medically centered education, and learning about the field I wanted to expand my career in. After entering the program and learning that there is so much more to medicine than just taking care of patients, I began to lose my interest. This was shocking to me since, my whole life up until this year, I believed I was going to become an amazing medical doctor.

Doing this was a big accomplishment because I learned how to communicate with the people in the community and also I had also learned new things on how to take care of the patients their to make them feel comfortable while they where their. How I earned these hours was by going once a week and doing four hours and I help people locate where they need to go and I also go to the floors and help them get their things ready when they are about to get discharged. Also, when I was able to work on the weekend and during my breaks I had done eight hours each day I took the extra hours to show that I am capable that I wanna help the people
I was highly impressed by the overall teamwork in the emergency department. It has a sense of organized chaos that would have taken me some time to adjust to.

The thing that through me off was the amount of stuff got done with our patients by other people.
Throughout my life, there has been several times that I have stopped to help someone with a flat tire in the rain or return a lost item to the lost and found and did not expect a return favor. I have had a few weeks to think about this assignment and the act of kindness that comes to my mind is the time that I and my Paramedic partner in Cape Coral, Florida had taken and older “late eighties” woman who was wheelchair bound to the hospital for a medical problem. She lived with her frail husband who we could tell did his best to make sure he was taken care of her the best he could.
