"Go chase an ambulance" is a sarcastic phrase used to mock someone who appears to be seeking attention or trying to profit from a situation, particularly a legal or medical one. It implies that the person is acting in a opportunistic or insincere manner.
"Para" in paramedics stands for "paramilitary." This term was originally used to describe emergency medical personnel who had military-style training. Over time, it has evolved to simply refer to emergency medical technicians and paramedics.
Probably the best way is to go into the navy/raf or army as a helicoptor pilot for a few years and then apply to your AirAmb unit with years of expeience. That's how people i know have done it.
I believe that you'll also need licenses like a PPL, and a CPL (private, commercial pilots license) and maybe others
Paramedics are certified in each different state which may be different. In my state (SC) you have to take a course as a Basic EMT, then be hired by a EMS provider. After a certain amount of time (usually 1 year) you are able to go to paramedic school which usually lasts about a year with classes, ride time and many hours of precep hours in a trauma center. To go to Paramedic School you have to have the recommendation of your EMS service Director and your Medical Control (Dr. who oversees your EMS service). There are also placement test and an Anatomy class you must take prior to Paramedic school. You would have to check with your state for their requirements. I know there are also college degrees in Emergency Medical Management but you don't have to have it.
It's a service to the community. Think about it, you're one of the few people that can save a life.
Forget doctors, you're in charge of the patient while he's on the ambulance. You're the first one to get there, you give him/her first aids and you make sure they stay alive until you reach the hospital.
Is one of the best jobs you can get if you like helping people.
That depends where in the world you live. If you live USA the best way to find out is to contact you states department of health or professional regulations. In Illinois it requires you to first become a certified EMT-B. THen you have to get into Paramedic school which will last antwhere from 10 months to 24 months. During which time you will spend time outside the classroom on an ambulance practicing skills you learn in class. You will also be required to spend hours in various departments in the hospital doing the same. I hope this if nothing else partially answers your question.
A paramedic you retard.

EDIT:
The person who wrote this isn't only rude, s/he's also not correct.
Generally the person who drives the ambulance is most often an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) where as the Paramedic will likely be in the back with the patient.
The two titles are not at all the same, Paramedics receive much more training. Although that being said both positions are very important and the people in this line of work save lives everyday.
First, there is no such thing as a degree in pre-med. It is a curriculum layout or sometimes referred to as a track, which prepares students who intend to seek admission to medical schools. It includes activities such as prerequisite coursework, clinical experience, volunteer activities, and research.
While many individuals who pursue a career as a physician major in biology at the undergraduate level, many others come from a variety of other educational backgrounds. You should meet with a career counselor at the college or university you attend for what options exist for you. The important issue is acquiring the appropriate prerequisites required for medical school. The student should have a strong background in the following areas.
The above would take approximately four years to complete as a full-time student, provided you take the degree as prescribed by the college or university.
well I'm a student in high school right now, in Glasgow, and so I asked my pastoral care teacher the same question that I'm answering right now and she said u need to study biology,chemistry,maths,phisics,maybe modern studies.
hope this helps x
Some states have a RN to Paramedic program. If you are lucky enough to be in a state that does, then enroll, pay the tuition and take the course. Otherwise, your state has an EMS system website, visit it and find a local program to enroll in. Remember, paramedic education is very different from RN education. Good luck!
ambulancia and the one for police is policia because I been to Spain two times.
The following is written by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the education and training required for Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics.
Generally, a high school diploma is required to enter a training program to become an EMT or paramedic. Workers must complete a formal training and certification process.
Education and training. A high school diploma is usually required to enter a formal emergency medical technician training program. Training is offered at progressive levels: EMT-Basic, EMT-Intermediate, and EMT-Paramedic.
At the EMT-Basic level, coursework emphasizes emergency skills, such as managing respiratory, trauma, and cardiac emergencies, and patient assessment. Formal courses are often combined with time in an emergency room or ambulance. The program provides instruction and practice in dealing with bleeding, fractures, airway obstruction, cardiac arrest, and emergency childbirth. Students learn how to use and maintain common emergency equipment, such as backboards, suction devices, splints, oxygen delivery systems, and stretchers. Graduates of approved EMT-Basic training programs must pass a written and practical examination administered by the State certifying agency or the NREMT.
At the EMT-Intermediate level, training requirements vary by State. The nationally defined levels (EMT-Intermediate 1985 and EMT-Intermediate 1999) typically require 30 to 350 hours of training based on scope of practice. Students learn advanced skills such the use of advanced airway devices, intravenous fluids, and some medications.
The most advanced level of training for this occupation is EMT-Paramedic. At this level, the caregiver receives training in anatomy and physiology as well as advanced medical skills. Most commonly, the training is conducted in community colleges and technical schools over 1 to 2 years and may result in an associate's degree. Such education prepares the graduate to take the NREMT examination and become certified as a Paramedic. Extensive related coursework and clinical and field experience is required. Refresher courses and continuing education are available for EMTs and paramedics at all levels.
Licensure. All 50 States require certification for each of the EMT levels. In most States and the District of Columbia registration with the NREMT is required at some or all levels of certification. Other States administer their own certification examination or provide the option of taking either the NREMT or State examination. To maintain certification, EMTs and paramedics must recertify, usually every 2 years. Generally, they must be working as an EMT or paramedic and meet a continuing education requirement.
Other qualifications. EMTs and paramedics should be emotionally stable, have good dexterity, agility, and physical coordination, and be able to lift and carry heavy loads. They also need good eyesight (corrective lenses may be used) with accurate color vision.
Advancement. Paramedics can become supervisors, operations managers, administrative directors, or executive directors of emergency services. Some EMTs and paramedics become instructors, dispatchers, or physician assistants; others move into sales or marketing of emergency medical equipment. A number of people become EMTs and paramedics to test their interest in health care before training as registered nurses, physicians, or other health workers.

This is typically not a college or university degree program. The most prevalent institutions offering this program are vocational and state-licensed cosmetology schools.
I agree this is just a major in some colleges. I would suggest using collegeboard.com to find a college with that, and if you are looking for a job in that field, try applying.
It looks like Christie carlson Romano that used to be on "Even Stevens" but I can't tell for sure.
The Woman in the commercial could be Christy's mother. Christy attends Columbia.
You have to beat up your opponent so badly you can throw them in the ambulance
yes it was conformed look yourself at www.smackdownvsraw .com
If the ambulance was moving either towards you or away from you it would exhibit the Doppler effect.
I.E. Higher pitch if it was moving towards you and lower pitch if it was moving away from you.
The change is most noticeable if the vehicle passes you. Presumably more noticeable with lower frequencies than higher frequencies.
It all depends on the pt. Usually 10ml/kg is a good starting place. But that must be titrated to effect. Then past medical history also must be considered. If the pt has CHF, you DO NOT want to fluid overload them.
most insurance companies cover ambulance services. Contact BSBC of Michigan.
Paramedics who work on an ambulance normally report for a 24 hour shift. They check the ambulance for supplies, making sure to restock any items that may have been used by the prior paramedic.
They check the ambulance to make sure they have fuel and that everything on the truck is working properly. They also check to make sure their radio is working so that they can communicate with the dispatcher.
After everything is checked, they may remain in the station and wait on a call to come in. If they don't have a call, they can read, study or work on a project or something in the office.
The station is usually set up so that each person has a bedroom or at least a bed and a locker. They can sleep, eat and shower at the station. They must be ready for an emergency call but otherwise could pursue hobbies or interests while on call.
When an emergency call comes in, the paramedic is alerted by the dispatcher. They report immediately to the ambulance and head to the location of the call.
Paramedics respond to many emergency calls. The emergency may be anything from a broken bone to cardiac arrest. Paramedics must always be prepared for any emergency.
Some shifts may result in back to back calls where the paramedic gets no rest at all for their shift. Other shifts may be relatively easy with only one or two calls. There is no way to predict how busy a paramedic will be.
