A member asked:
Would love to be a paramedic,but have post concussion syndrome that prevents me from doing daily things.been like this for years.bad idea?thank you!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Paramedics have a: lot of responsibility for the health of their patients. They need to think quickly, react calmly and be in command of a large knowledge of first aid and general health. If you can't do daily activities I would not want to intrust the welfare of my patients to your management in an emergency. Bad idea. Find a different profession.
