This song somehow captures the stark reality of an actual life and death situation encountered and dealt with by a solo paramedic responder.
Crosby & Nash………Lay Me Down

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.

Battalion Chief Doug Smith of the Columbus Fire Departament talks about the role of paramedic as part of an interview for mycooljob.org.

Mycooljob.org is a production of WOSU Public Media, and is designed for middle-schoolers and early high school students, to give them a taste of the real world after graduation, to show the pluses — and minuses — of real jobs. Interviews and photos of the professionals are paired with videos of them, as well as interactive blogs.

The project was funded by a grant through E-Tech, which specializes in using new technology so that Ohio learners will succeed in the world of tomorrow. The Columbus Dispatch also contributed to the site, offering free job-related content from its pages.

Four major career fields are highlighted:
Engineering, Information Technology (IT), Arts and Communication, and Health Sciences, all of which will be in demand in the next five to ten years, the same timeframe in which students looking at the site will graduate. In all, 15 full-time professionals offered to be part of the site. They share stories about their professional lives, which almost never follow a direct path, in an effort to demonstrate that career paths are never a straight line. Each voice allows students to meet and get honest advice from people who love what they do for a living, and find out why.

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.
