Paramedics must fit medical procedures into their work context and consequently, paramedics practice a unique type of care referred to in their occupational literature as prehospital care and transportation of the sick and injured. This care is provided outside of any formal institution, which means in plain language that they practice in the street and perform in a context rife with chaotic, dangerous, and often uncontrollable elements with which hospital-based practitioners need not contend.

This video needs to be put into context as I fear it may be viewed the wrong way. The video was shot as a tribute for an end of the year banquet for a graduating class of paramedics. If you follow the words, it is, in my opinion very creative as we follow a VSA protocol through the EMCA-P/ABC( in proper order mind you). The lyrics took some time to piece together. As we know, this job, at times, can be stressful and overwhelming. Although it may seem like a joke to some, we in no way tried/want to tarnish the reputation any EMS service out there. We also understand that patient care is a very serious matter and would NEVER do this sort of thing on the road. It is supposed to be fun and light-hearted. This video is more of a representation of how stressful our labs can be, but it was shot, again, with humour in mind.

A terribly funny call by a woman to the emergency services asking for an ambulance. Very funny.

Engine 16 dispatched along with Engine12 to back up Engine 11 on what was supposed to be a dumpster fire. Battallion 3 requested two more Engines after he arrived on scene to find that it was a construction dumpster on fire. Oh but it gets better, The construction dumpster was still sitting on the back of the truck!
