Edms Persuasive Speech

Paramedics are emergency medical technicians more commonly known as EMT’s. EMT’s provide emergency treatment for the ill or injured on a scene and during en route to a medical facility. EMT’s are called upon at all hours of the day or night; typically the first medical specialist that a patient will call upon in an emergency. Paramedics are trained to provide lifesaving pre-hospital care in emergency situations. The range of medical services varies according to the level of training and/or certification.

I later enrolled in a practical nursing program, in pursuit of my dream of becoming a nurse. While taking my prerequisites, I decided to volunteer at a local hospital in the emergency department. At the hospital, I assisted with transporting patients within the facility, preparing rooms for incoming

I chose to consider being an EMT when I get older, because I want to help people fell better and rescue people to that they can still be with their families. This job is basically a real super hero; because I always hear the saying all superheroes don’t wear capes. I do think that EMTs are superheroes, because they are always saving lives and that’s basically what superheroes in comic books do all day long.

Several years ago, my appendix nearly ruptured and I had to have surgery. At that time, the staff was caring, kind, and aware of my pain, and the environment was never boring. Everyone was in a rush, and there was never a dull moment. The atmosphere is exhilarating; nurses, doctors and emergency medical technicians are always in a rush to help patients. Afterwards, I realized I wanted to help people in the same way the medical personnel helped me. This inspired me to pursue my EMT certification, but my ultimate goal is to attend medical school and become a surgeon. To be able to pursue my dream, I hope to attend (School) because of the strong curriculum and capable instructors.

Could you imagine working as a EMT and not knowing what could happen at anytime that you are on the job.

Emergency Medical Technicians have been in need since the 1960s, Emergency Medical Technicians have to go through extensive training and meet education requirements to be able to do this job. There are many different things that Emergency Medical Technicians do while on the job, there are also very many levels to being an Emergency Medical Technicians.

You need to be ready for almost anything. You’re always under incredible pressure to do the right thing at the right time. There are so many different situations you may find yourself in being an EMT. You’re always making life or death decisions, and communicating with other emergency responders. This job is very general. You can always rise up from being an EMT. You can become a paramedic or even become an emergency room nurse. EMT-IIs take on more responsibilities than EMT-Bs. Such as administer IV (intravenous) fluids, perform emergency childbirth procedures, and administer

EMTs are such an essential part of society nowadays. In my opinion, this is one of the most important jobs out there. For just a moment, imagine that you are driving down the road on a rainy night and lose control of your car. You go flying off the road and into a tree on the side of the road. Everything goes fuzzy and all you can see are flashes of reality. You fade in and out, hearing sirens and seeing lights, but you have no control of your body. The next thing you know, you wake up inside of a small room, freaking out because you have no idea what has just happened. Eventually you realize that the small room you are in is the back of an ambulance, and you are being taken

Volunteering in the Emergency Department has been a fulfilling experience, while learning as much as possible helping the staff and patients. I have enhanced my listening skills and adapted my approach when communicating with patients and medical staff, being cognizant of non-verbal cues. I have become more perceptive of the wide array of ailments and injuries that prompt patients to visit the ER, while gaining a deeper appreciation of the delicate

My nature to serve attracts me to the Houston Methodist Summer Teen Volunteer Program. My goals are to gain experience and knowledge about careers in medicine, and to give back to the community. I would like to learn a lot about how people live by the ways they get hurt or how they deal with being sick. It’s a good study of human behavior because you see people at their highest and lowest extremes of emotion. To further my goal of pursuing a career in medicine, it is important for me to get hands on experience of serving people and executing work in a responsible manner. When a person donates their time, they give hope to someone who needs it. I feel that I will be also benefited because I get to see how my contribution has made a difference.

Becoming and EMT or paramedic is a very stressful and demanding career. It is also a depressing job dealing with sick people every day. However, the job is extremely rewarding and gratifying to know that you helped assist in saving a person’s

Volunteering at Texas Health Presbyterian Plano is my way of giving back to the community while developing critical social skills, and gaining important medical field exposure along the way. It’s an opportunity to change a person’s life, including my own. I volunteered at two hospitals last summer and I’m well acquainted with what volunteering entails and would more than love to do it again. Through this hospital volunteer program, I hope to discover my own passions and talents, while also developing skills that I will utilize throughout my entire high school and college experience.

Currently I do not participate in any of the EMS Field. I work in mental health St. Helena Hospital, and we receive many patients from the emergency room, but are not directly in the EMS Field. Within the next few weeks I will become an official volunteer EMT at Angwin ambulance. I personally have always enjoyed helping others and that's what brought me into the healthcare field. I look forward to working as an EMT because that's more along the lines of what I want to do as a career, which is an emergency room nurse. I chose the EMS Field because not only do I love helping others but I enjoyed the challenges that EMTs face and the constantly changing environment. I enjoy being on the front lines of the action and getting to play an instrumental role in everything from holding a hand saving a life.

This year I chose EMS as my senior year rotation. In this class, I experience what it is like to be a first responder since we find out what is wrong with our patient with the given information at the scene and then we plan a course of treatment for our patients depending on the site of the incident. This class has helped shape my knowledge of medicine even more and has helped carve us students into becoming EMT’s. Although the life of a doctor and a first responder are completely different, they both practice the same set of skills such as taking vitals, patient assessments, cardiopulmonary resuscitation,

Over the last five years I have worked with college staff to get students more involved in campus safety and the main way was through the creation of a student patrol called Tiger Patrol. The program has been a great success and we wanted to expand it to a student EMS group that would help respond to medical emergencies on campus. Through the help of student Kyle Sansom who has done most of the work CC EMS is now up and running. The team is made up of 9 students, are all state certified and practice under the guidance of a local Doctor. They have worked several shifts and have responded to a couple medical emergencies and have worked side-by-side with AMR and CSFD. We are still testing out the program and will be working to make adjustments

It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with the post. Day one, we were testing on competencies, the skills you will need in order to ride on the ambulance and assist the paramedics and EMTS on calls. Coming home after that first night I could barely hold back my excitement about what I learned and sat the whole family down and told them everything I learned. After only a couple weeks with the post and I was already booking my calendar to go to events such as teaching my old Boy Scout troop their first aid merit badge with a group of explorers I had just meet only a couple weeks ago. The beauty of the post is that everyone was there for the same reason, we all wanted to be doctors, or EMTS, or just better prepared for emergencies that may come up in our lives. I think it's safe to say, I have never felt more welcomed into a group in my whole life
