A Paramedic Friendly Website

A Paramedic Friendly Website Being a student in paramedicine and knowing we have lots of reports to fill in, this website can be very useful, not only for students but also for paramedics already on the field.  Thank you for watching SCRIPT " Hi there, today I will show you a very useful website that I have learnt to love.  So, I am a Prehospital Emergency Care student in my second year of learning.

I'm currently in my second year of this program and I must say that I love it.  If you are wondering how I chose this field of work, well here it is! It's not a sad or a happy story, it is very simple actually. I was in my second year of social science and my first goal was to become a therapist. I really liked what I was learning but I always found myself searching for something else to do and I told myself that if I kept searching, it probably meant that I wasn't as decided as I thought.  I was driving with my mom one day somewhere in Montreal and my aunt called us saying that she got in a accident on one of the many highways in the city. My mom was really worried and she is Italian (if you know, you know), so she decided to go join my aunt to make sure everything was ok even if my uncle was on his way. When we got there, the paramedics were already with my a...
