Pes A & B are the most suitable to be station medics
i thought decomposed bodies is handled by the black van aka undertaker
SCDF want deliver decomposed body to where ?
the paramedic must be at scene to pronounce the death
I think most of the people also cannot handle gross at 1st right , it take some time to get used to gross ba ?
Yes, unless you're super immune to all those gross stuffs
Self questioned : i think tears , fracture amuputation i can take it but currently i may not used to seeing people vomit (i may feel vomiting too) , eye injuries (hair will stand) and decomposed body ??
Its really a matter of getting used to but if you're not prepared then medic is definately not a vocation for you
Ok , but definately most people starting as medic sure got their fear right ?Originally posted by SMRT Buses:* See my responses in highlighted in blue

Beside taking time to adapt to it , do the medic often get chance to consult the doctor or psycologist to get oneself more used to it ?
If a medic were to consult either a doctor or a psycologist then something must be very very long but I don't think this ever happened...for some, it might take a shorter time to adapt whereas for others, might be a longer time
And the something im really confuse about , what is a station medic ? the medic to look after the station people , or those stay at station , but got something on then hop on the ambulance and go ?
Station medic is like me whereby once you hear the ambulance coding (which means the ambulance is activated), all the crew of the ambulance must turn out
Then what the difference between medic and paramedic ?
Medics are NS men whereby paramedics are regulars meaning they signed on
haha , thx so i assume para = sign onOriginally posted by SMRT Buses:[/color]
