Georgia Roy is a paramedic (急救员). She spoke to Craig Jackson from Out and About magazine.
Craig: What’s it like to work as a paramedic, Georgia?
Georgia: Every day is different, because we get so many different calls for help. We might go to a car accident or to a house where someone is sick. Some days are very busy and some days are quiet. Sometimes we work during the day and sometimes we work at night. I always work with a partner—another paramedic. When we get a call from someone, we get into the ambulance (救护车) and drive to them as quickly as we can. We use the siren to tell other drivers to move out of our way.
Craig: What makes a good paramedic?
Georgia: You have to be good at talking to people. You have to stay calm and quickly find out what their problem is. Sometimes we can help them, but usually we have to take them to the hospital.
Craig: What do you do in between the calls?
Georgia: When we’re not out on the road, my partner and I check the ambulance and the equipment.
Craig: What’s the best thing about your job?
Georgia: I just like giving help to people when they need it most. Once a woman had a baby in the ambulance. That was amazing!
