my first emergency run was very interesting. the service i work for has 2 stations, the one i happen to be working for is approx. 13 miles from the hospital. im nervous and eager when the tone goes off and the dispatcher says pt not breathing and no pulse. we get on scene to find, thankfully, there is a paramedic on scene who also called 911. OH yea i forgot to tell you that the medic i was with just got his medic license. we took over cpr, got the pt in the ambulance, started the iv and did the appropriate skills and went enroute to the hospital. the medic i was working with called for an intercept from the other station. Mind you i was new and niave and was totally clueless about intercepts. when the ambulance stopped for the other buses medic to jump on i jumped out of the drivers seat and ran to the back when the driver of the other ambulance( who is my husband lol) asked me what the hell i was doing and told me to get back in the truck and drive. i was so nervous and anxious about the call i didnt realize until after we arrived at the hospital that the pt who coded was a friend of my dads and i had known for several years. even though you may think you are prepared for anything your really not.
relax and learn from everything you do. you will make crazy and very interesting mistakes, we all do ( some just don't want to tell their mistakes). have fun and good luck!
