Well my stage is officially over, and it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I feel like a real Paramedic now, and I have confidence, that I can do this job and do it well. Over the past few weeks the things I`ve learnt have been incredible. The way they teach you at school isn`t at all the way things are done on the road. The school gives you a base to follow, but on the road you have to find your own way to do it.
I didn`t see any major trauma, or a cardiac arrest but I saw a lot of different things. I don`t feel I personally saved any lives during my stage, but I do feel I made a difference in everyone of my patients`lives in some respect.
The one thing I really noticed was how hard it is to be old, you really lose all independance and become a completley different person. I try to look at my older patients and imagine them being my age and wonder what they were like.
I have decided to continue on, on my stage, because even though I don`t need the extra time to pass the course, I need all the help I can get to be a great Paramedic. Throughout my career I never want to feel like I know enough, I want to continue to learn everyday and continue to learn for the better of my patients. My ''Maitres de stages'' have said they would like me to stick around for as long as I can so thankfully I can continue to work on the ambulance until school starts.
