Dichotomy?

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
Interesting comments from 2 students today that left me wondering about the seemingly diametrically opposed messages I got from them.

Student number 1, this morning, teaching him about the cardiac monitor in the back of the ambulance. When he finds out that I have been in EMS for almost 30 years looks at me and blurts out "Are you retiring soon?". Umm, no, not if I can help it. I really like being a paramedic and plan on staying a paramedic as long as they will let me. I'm not THAT old.

Student number 2, this afternoon, after finishing talking about capnography and how we can use it with patients that are not intubated tells me "dude, you should have a blog or do a podcast or something. That was excellent.". Well, thank you.

Interesting.
