You know, a significant number of people in the health profession would face the risk of having to deal with someone dying under their care (but of course, paramedics, hospice staff and ER doctors / nurses would deal with a whole lot more than most).

I once knew a paediatric nurse who I asked, 'how do you deal with it, (people) dying in your care?'. His response was on the lines of, as insensitive as it is, you just have to detach yourself from the situation for your own sake.

people like that deserve so much more in return then they get. what they put themselves through is inconceiable to me. i guess im too much of a softie to let myself not get attatched to my patients.

chlloe:
Dunno. Just appeals to me.

Of course it has the downsides, but what a rewarding career, being able to save people lives day in day out.

I dont want the same day every day, new situations.  :)

shonakennedy:
good for you chlloe. you sound like you will make a fantastic ambo one day. good luck on your journey :)

AppleXY:
Wow, that must be an extremely difficult and stressful job. The hours seem worse than IBers (lol), but the remuneration must be great for those people. I mean, woah you're dealing with real lives every second in your job 24/7.

Good luck chloe. :)
