	Paramedic
		Paramedics and EMTs are often the first medical people at the scene of an accident or sudden illness; they give immediate care to heart attack victims, car crash victims, gunshot victims, and poisoning victims.
		Paramedics must be physically and emotionally strong enough to do backbreaking and sometimes dangerous work, and ready to hustle on a moment’s notice, whether they feel like it or not, as someone’s life may be on the line.
		However, a paramedic seeking advancement must leave fieldwork if she is to move up to operations manager, administrative officer, or executive director of emergency services.

	Paramedic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A paramedic is a trained medical professional who responds to medical and trauma emergencies in the pre-hospital setting ("in-field") for the purpose of stabilizing a patient's condition before and during transportation to an appropriate medical facility, usually by ambulance.
		Paramedics may be beneficial to patient care in that setting due to their specialized knowledge and skills related to the management of acute emergencies.
		Paramedics is also the name of a show on the Discovery Health Channel, which details the life and work of emergency medical squads across the country.

	Proud of my profession....paramedic - USA
		A paramedic operates under the delegated authority of a doctor who is a “medical director”.
		A good medical director takes personal pride in his paramedics, and often is directly involved in their training, giving lecturers, reviewing calls, etc. He takes up for the medics when other people have questions.
		There are paramedics who train to go into special rescue situations (mountain rescue for example), paramedics who go with the swat teams, there are medics who work in very isolated areas (like oil rigs, ships, etc), that function with a lot of independence.
