First Shift (4/7) - 8am to 4pm

I started at C-MED and then I moved to dispatcher and call taker. Basically, C-MED controls the ambulances and ER, and connects them in one line. During my shift, I observed that sixteen ambulances were directed to the Bay State Hospital, four ambulances to the Mercy Hospital, and just one call was directed to the Holyoke Hospital.
Two hours later, I moved to dispatcher and using a headphone listened to how the dispatcher contacts the EMS crew. I observed how the dispatcher balanced ALS and BLS in the city, and sent ambulances to the scene. Also, I observed whether ...

Last week I decided to take a walk at night in my locality. The weather was cool and calm and I thought to myself that taking a walk might just help open up my mind and remind me of an incident of my life that taught me something meaningful. Just as I walked past a deserted street and reached a junction that lead to the main road I heard a screeching sound of a fast turning car followed by a sudden halt. I stood still as my mind went back to a day in 1999 when my dad was driving me home from my aunt’ ...

Positive and Negative Views Concerning Lawyers

The public view of lawyers comes from a number of sources. The news, television shows, movies, books, and personal experience influence people’s beliefs both in positive and negative ways. There are many examples both positive and negative that fuel people’s perceptions about the legal profession. On the negative side, the legal profession has earned a bad reputation because people believe lawyers are greedy, because people find the idea that lawyers defend criminals to be reprehensible, and because the language lawyers use is seen as too difficult to understand. On the positive side, groups like the Innocence Project and the ...

One of the peculiar aspects of criminal law is the ability to essentially increase, or decrease, depending on the particular factors of a case, the punishment that an offender would normally expect to have imposed after a conviction (Justia, 2016). These circumstances, which are formally known in criminal law as aggravating and mitigation circumstances, are often used to take into account important aspects of the case that may not have been properly addressed during the trial or plea negotiations. Aggravating and mitigating circumstances are normally applied under the discretion of the sentencing judge; however, for some crimes they might ...

The violence has become an internal part of our social life nowadays. We see it everywhere: we read about it, watch the news and our favorite series. The problem, however, is not in this, but in how we perceive such type of behavior. The scenes of murders, mockery, attacks and all the sorts of assaults we consume as an already usual thing. It always seems that these stories are so far away from you, on the other side of the screen, in written plots of producers and newsmakers. You feel so safe, sitting on your old brown sofa in ...

- Current pre-hospital treatment regimens for eclampsia and preeclampsia
Both eclampsia and preeclampsia are serious conditions and although they are uncommon, they comprise a challenge especially in the pre-hospital setting (Rodriguez & Velisca, 2007). They relate to high blood pressure and occur during pregnancy, which mean that mother and the growing fetus face a serious threat (nichd.nih.gov). In preeclampsia, due to the mother’s increased blood pressure, the fetus gets reduced blood supply, which in turns could mean less oxygen (nichd.nih.gov). Eclampsia is a more serious condition that hazards the mother’s life, and consequently the fetus’ life too, with distinguishing seizures ...

It all began in the afternoon when my fellow students were in the field playing. My few colleagues and I were coming from a meeting that was organized for student leaders. We were walking majestically towards the direction facing the field where some students were playing football while others were playing hockey and cricket. The weather condition was fine during that day because the sun was shining and the clouds were scattered thus allowing the sunlight to pass through to the ground. However, the only voices that were heard during that time at our school compound were those coming from ...

Personal Philosophy

The best leadership philosophy that I believe works best for the health care leader is primal leadership. In a medical locale, there are many factors that contribute to an effective working motivating environment. Consideration is a two-way program that determines the association between the leader and a member, a trust, the understanding and the overall personal ethics.
A leader needs plans to keep the environment in a constant rise curve to implement a new change and ensure that the workers have a good relationship with the leadership. The catch is making sure that the leader has emotional intelligence. The skill ensures that the leader understands ...

His problems were exacerbated by alcoholism and a tendency to exhibit bipolar mood swings that contributed to his suicide. He was most likely motivated to rescue himself from an overprotective mother and a cold and disciplinarian father.
The task of the psychoanalyst is to help ...
