:cry:Well I have two cases to talk about: First I think I should tell about the first case I ever lost, it was after only a few months’ out of school and I was called to help with a patient who was not responding. We went speeding to the house and find that the police are all ready there, we rush in and the family wont let me get close because since I am not from that town they don’t trust me, after convincing them that I am a emt I enter the room where the patient is at and find two paramedics already doing cpr, I try for like 30 minutes to bring him back but it does not work all compressions and all the breaths just make him look like im doing the right thing but it just makes me get tired my partner is just crying and tell me he knows the patient. When I go to get the air tank the two paramedics that were there with me lock me out of the room. And my second case was just yesterday. Im called to another no response and find the patient lying in his own waste; he is only 70 on the o2 and 170 in pulse. My partner runs to get the long board and a collar, we tie him down and carry him from the 3 floor down at the first floor every one is screaming that we should hurry up, we finally get the hospital and the doctors are waiting to give us a cardiac patient, we run to the back of the hospital to wash of the equipment and like in 10 minutes the family members of the patient go to were we are at and start fighting with us. When we pick up the patient guess what……………………. We change him to our stretcher and he dies.

Well i have bin in this only 5 months, so i understand im not at your level of experience. And im sorry if my writing is not the best, i personally just want to make friends and get help from plp that know what its like to be in a bad spot. IM SORRY AND I PROMISE I WONT WRITE HERE ENEY MORE SORRY!

I was wondering is it normal to be sad, when you lose a pte? Im still a little depressed about a case that i did the other day, and well its got me feeling really down and we all know its dangerest to feel soooooooooooo bad. Thank you for eney help or advice you can give me.

It has no puch line, i got there late to save some one, i really feel bad about this case.

The truth is my first lose was hard. I arrived to find another paramedic all ready on the scene, crying. I got to the the house and it was filled with police and family members, at first no body aloud me close to the pte, but after a little bit i found a way to calm them down so they would let me try to save him. I spent 1 hour trying to get him back but he never did return. I spent 1 week with depresion and did not want to eat or eney thing, but after some time i got back on my feet, i still have this feeling like if i had gotten there maybe 10 minutes earlier maybe he would still be alive. :?

:shock: Can eney body tell me if my licence from puerto rico, is good in the united states. If not how do i fix my licence so i can work in the usa. Plus i would love to know if there are many paramedics in the states or if its like here, (where i dieing class) because i want to work out there but its going to be hard to go not knowing what there is on the street.

Ok my story is a little wack but hey. It is P.R. Im called by the police to help to calm down a suicidal pte, who wants to jump off a bridge. Dispach tells us to get there like yesterday because the pte is try to jump in front of a car, we rush and find the pte guess what???????????????????????? Under the bridge walking. He really did not feel like walking up there and was trying to get a ride up there.
