First few shifts

Well I've been working as a real Paramedic since November 28th now and I have to say it is the most rewarding job that exists. I've been working many different hours with many different partners. In Montreal it's so busy I can't even believe it, when I did my stage we had time to relax and fool around a bit, but in Montreal it's one call right after another.
My very first call was a guy who was hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) he was out of it, so we had to give him a needle filled with glucagon (helps raise blood sugar). It was a pretty impressive call for my first one. Other then that I've some some very urgent calls, a cardiac arrest, a gentleman in a right bundle branch block etc... But also some humanitarian calls old ladies who have fallen, feel weak etc. It's not all lights and sirens, save the day every call like you see on TV and in the movies, a lot of people call ambulances when they don't need to, a simple taxi would do fine for them, but that's the system.
So far I feel I'm doing extremely well for my first week, I've gotten compliments from EVERY SINGLE ONE of my patients saying how nice and polite and comforting I was. I love it when they shake your hand after and say thank you. I don't do it for the money, I do it for that right there.
I said before that it's not all lights and sirens, save the day with every call, but you do make a difference with every single call.
For those of you who read this and don't know what you want to do, if you think you can handle it, I highly suggest you look into becoming a Paramedic, there's nothing greater then the feeling you get after coming home from work, knowing you made a positive difference in over a dozen people's lives.
