One of the most essential elements of excellent Patient Care is TEAMWORK. |
 |
DO NO HARM!
Must be able to work long hours with frequent mandatory overtime. Few holidays and weekends off.
Must be able to keep massive amounts of paperwork up to date while making split-second, life or death decisions.
Must be immune to verbal abuse and able to neutralize the occasional physical assault.
Must display patience, kindness, understanding and caring, even when personal life is coming apart at the seams.
Must show no aversion to blood, vomit, oozing infections, or human body wastes.
Salary is in no way commensurate with knowledge or ability.
Only those interested in dealing with depressing situations on a daily basis need apply.
"Paramedics save lives, EMTs save Paramedics
and Instructors take all the credit!"
Reta Pozzi R.N.,
the first and by far, the most outstanding
Instructor in Hawaii's MICT program.
Without this exceptional lady's unselfish dedication,
wisdom, and love for her students,
this "Old Paramedic" might
not be here to write these pages.
"I don't know, but I've been told,
It's hard to run with a weight of gold.
On the other hand, I've heard it said,
It's just as hard with a weight of lead."
