3. What questions were raised because of the 10 hours of experience?
- How are the rules and regulations of an EMT different depending on the region?
- How is seniority among EMTs determined?
4. What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
In my opinion, the most important thing I learned from this experience was proper emergency assessment. Knowing how to effectively deal with a medical emergency, even if you don't know how to treat the injured person(s) can save lives. Previously, I had always believed that treating the patient was always the first and only objective, but this can cause even more damage.
5. How did what you did help you choose a topic?
I have decided to stick with First Aid as my topic because there is still so much to learn and having this knowledge can come in handy one day. I have also learned that I now have a wide array of EMT's that I can ask if I have questions thanks to my mentor's class. I think I may have my EQ be "What do you need to effectively handle a medical emergency?" I can divide this question into three answers; knowledge, equipment and calm incident assessment. The latter would most likely be my best answer, because I learned in the First Aid class that this is the most useful skill to have.
