Paula the Paramedic – Character Insight

I created Paula the Paramedic as part of my Canadian Trades/Professions Character Challenge. In Canada, we depend on paramedics to help us when we are sick or we are in an emergency situation.

Being a paramedic can be a very rewarding career for someone who has a lot of compassion and cares a lot about people. A paramedic’s job would be very demanding both physically and mentally. There are times a paramedic will see some very difficult things but they must persevere if they are going to help the person in need. They must know how to deal with a crisis situation.

Part of what attracted Paula the Paramedic to pursue this career is that she would be frontline with the patients that she cares for. Her responsibilities include assessing the patient and then determining whether they need further treatment. If further treatment is needed, the patient is transported to a hospital.
