What does "Paramedic" mean?

An absolute hero. Largely unappreciated by the general population until they are gasping for their last breath after 25 pints of Stella and a kicking par excellance on a Friday night.

The person who saves your scrawny, puke and blood covered arse outside Tall Trees next friday.

Paramedic - meaning

Icy blooded, steel natured, beast capable of doing the near impossible with almost nothing to work with in the worst conditions for the least possible pay. Given twice the social responsibility of law enforcement and none of the authority, while firefighters are running into the burning building, paramedics take up residence in the burning building and start unpacking boxes and paying rent.

Stepping out of the ambulance and surveying the scene the paramedic sighed and said, "Get my coffee, it's going to be a long shift. "

Paramedic - slang

A paramedic is a medical profession that provides advanced levels of medical care in the pre-hospital setting usually in an emergency. This includes an initial assessment, diagnosis and a treatment plan to manage the patient's health crisis. This care can also be continued en-route to a hospital if more definitive care for the patient is required. In some cases the Paramedic may provide adequate treatment that may resolve the health crisis and may or may not refer the patient onto another health professional.

Most paramedics work in ambulances or medical helicopters however there are some who take up hospital based roles in emergency departments. In some countries paramedics can go onto becoming a form of extended care practitioner similar to a PA or CNP.

Paramedics responded when my father was experiencing a heart attack.

Paramedic

Someone who looks good in a green jumpsuit and can drive a van really fast through tight roads. In their social world they let their hair down and can party and drink with the best of them. First to the scene of an accident and last to leave a party.

Look at that paramedic and how fast she can drive, I wonder who would win in a van race an F1 driver, a rally driver or that green jump-suited paramedic.
