We think it's safe to say that Semester students get more practical scenarios than most paramedic students completing a year of training. Today was a good example. They started the morning responding to a fire at an elementary school, where they had to assess, triage, move and treat 12 students that spoke only Spanish. Then they went on to manage individual patients having asthma attacks, anaphylactic reactions and chest pain from heart problems. They finished the day learning about childbirth. At this moment, most of them are out on the soccer field, playing with the local residents, and blowing off steam after an intense week.
