Would you be able to be an E.M.T. or an ambulance driver.? |
Issue aside from the training, i mean would the blood and gore bother you to a point where you couldn't do that job. If you are such a person, do you ever get used to it, does it take a certain kind of person to handle that? Best Tip it's a strange mindset you go in when you work with gore and nasty stuff. i am normally a sissy girl, who is grossed out by everything, but when i am at work i'm just in the zone i guess. nothing really gets to me. i think anyone can handle the gore and visual aspect of the job if they had the drive, but i think it does take a certain kind of person to handle the emotional aspect of the job. as a student, i was in the ER when a 14 month old was brought in by her parents with her head crushed. her father had backed over her with the car while mom wasn't paying attention in the driveway. stuff like that i don't think anyone gets used to, and it could really eat away at you if you let it. Source(s): RN Others The gore wouldn't get to me much but I have a bad back and hearing loss so I wouldn't be able to do it. Well surprising even to myself I do pretty well in an emergency. It's after it calms down a little and the time comes for something like stitches that I start to freak out. my sister studied to be a emt for a great while come to find shed only be paid minimum wage- even with her degree- hopefully the driving job pays more! You get used to acting to the problem and not taking the taime to look at the gore . One of the first things you do is cover up wounds to control the bleeding . Today gloves , gowns , masks are all used so you do not get exposed to body fluids. If you look for glory and praise , this is not the job for you . Long hours , low pay, dirty working conditions , emotional stress are all things to expect. Well this looks like a question for me. Yes it does take a certian kid of person to do this job. You have to be able to handle stress well and be able to react quickly in emergency situations where you have no time to stop and think about what to do. Yes you get used to it but thats because you learn to seperate your emotions from your work. If you cant do that then you cant do this job. You need to realize that death is a part of life and that it happens all the time. Sometimes you can fix it and sometimes you cant. Then after your shift is over and you get home in your bed, that is the time to break down. |
