To be an excellent paramedic, the most important thing is that I need to have some abilities. In my opinion, medical knowledge, patience, the ability to express, knowing how to cooperate with others are the four qualities that are paramedics need.
First, it is important to have enough medical knowledge. For example, the information about first aid. If I do not have enough knowledge about this, I may make some mistakes on my work. The mistakes might cause the patients’ disease much more terrible.
Besides the medical knowledge, a paramedic also has to have patience to the sick. Having patience is important because a course of treatment may be pretty long. A paramedic has to use patience to interact with the patients and the patients will realize their disease while they are talking to the paramedic. I think it can help the sick reduce their nervous and scare if they realize their illness.
The third ability is expressing. Patients need a good conversation with paramedics. They want to realize the diseases which they have and ask how to fight with the illnesses. If a paramedic has good ability of communication, patient will believe me and tell me every details during the sickness.
The last one is cooperation. The paramedics will have lots of chance to cooperate with others. Some works in the hospital are not done by a single man. It requires “Teamwork. ” Every one in the team can do what they can do. All people here do their best, and the work may finish perfectly. Against to the illnesses is also like that. For example, doctors, a Physical therapist, and nurses may take a cooperation to face to the same patients and all of them should cooperate with each other.
To sum up, medical knowledge, patience, the ability to express, and cooperation are the most important and paramedics should have. The paramedics who do not have these abilities might not be an excellent paramedic. If I want to be a splendid paramedic, try to have these four abilities first!
