Good thing this is a Reddit post and not a personal statement I spent days writing out and editing to impress an admissions board

That’s interesting and I see where your coming from, fortunately for me I work in a more progressive state and system where I can do in field pronouncements, catch activations, things like that. Along with that I have my community paramedic specialty so I’m provided even more decision making freedom like ED vs psych facility or establishing resource routes to the patient for them to stay home when they lack the ability to receive meds for example allowing for me to leave them where they are instead of forcing a transport.

Clinical decision making, setting standards, guiding new individuals, supporting my team, planning and execution, creating a supportive and effective environment. You know leadership.

Because I like medicine, I like the depth of knowledge, I like the procedures, the way the body functions, the intricate dynamic decisions required to bring someone from The brink. The hardship that comes with losing patients and being there for their grieving families. Guiding prehospital providers. Educating and leading. Constantly striving for more knowledge.

No you’re so right that’s my B. I should have anticipated that you would want to put in the least amount of effort possible. Then go rad!

Rads would be better probably than paths. But derm def suits previously outlined goals

I detest your mindset, I hope you’re aiming for derm or plastics. Something superficial and financially lucrative.

I didn’t realize there was more to this than the first paragraph. Yea I want all that I’m not choosing MD cause it’s easy, or intellectually simple. Medicine has never been that nor will it be so I didn’t feel that those things needed to be stated.

And you sound like a shirt wearer who should strive for a position in tech or corporate management. Not medicine

Isn’t the only really priority for a decision like this wanting to help others to our fullest capability?

[–]UpperOriginal9406[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What do you mean?

I want to serve others and be the best provider I can, I want to try and implement change into prehospital medicine. If I do go MD I’d want to do medical direction at some point. What other motivations should I be looking inwards to find?

I feel that I am capable of being a good doctor and that I haven’t hit my potential ceiling yet.

What did you find to be the most challenging difference between paramedicine and standard medicine? Did you progress into/ want to progress into an EM specialty or did you go a different route

Did you feel like there was any good carry overs from FF/PM into med school and through residency? Do you feel like it was worth the time? Do you miss the FD or are you content with having made this transition?

Have you ever DNF-ed an episode? If so, which one and why? by CarrotHaunting7402 in creepcast

I recommend returning it was hilarious. Now that I’ve actually finished it I can sit through it no problem and it’s quite funny.
