What are Paramedics?

Paramedics are health professionals that are a part of the Emergency Medical System (EMS). They provide care to patients with illness or injury at the site of the event. They also provide pre-hospital care.

Paramedics often work in busy, chaotic environments. One call may take them to an office where an individual is experiencing the symptoms of a heart attack. The next call may be to a major accident on the highway.
