I wish that I could say that today's ride-along with Denver Paramedics was action-packed, but it wasn't. Over a 10-hour shift, we had a grand total of three calls: a Denver CARES patient in alcohol withdrawal, a minor fender-bender with no injuries, and a dialysis patient needing transport. Pure bad luck, a sleepy day in Denver.
This was a very similar pre-hospital experience as the ride-along I did during my first year as an elective, except this time it was a requirement for the Emergency Care clerkship. I think future students would have more luck scoring an exciting shift if it were scheduled for a Friday or Saturday night.
