Life and death! All day every day.

Where to study?

This is where it all begins! You are almost done high school and need to make an important choice: Where should I pursue my studies as a paramedic? There are three great schools that offer the Pre-hospital Emergency Care program: Ahuntsic College, John-Abbott College and Saint-Hyacinthe College.

Choice 1 : Ahuntsic.

Choice 2 : John Abbott

Choice 3 : Saint-Hyacinthe.

A graduation hat

Ahuntsic.

You love it here! It's a great follow up on your studies from high school and you have made plenty of friends. It is the one college that doesn't require physical tests! You now face a knew dilemma though and that is that the school is perfect, but can you afford the drive 4 hours every day to go to school and come back home? You have to make a choice.

Choice 1 : I'll do the drive!

Choice 2 : I'll try residence life!

Choice 3 : I'll be independent and get an apartment!

Ahuntsic College

John Abbott.

It is a beautiful school with a great staff. However, after getting lost with the bus system, you were late to take the physical tests! What a shame! You have to start again!

Choice 1 : Back to start

John Abbott college

Saint-Hyacinthe.

It is an amazing school and the program is great! But it's really far from home and you start to really miss your family. Not only that but after your first week, the school gets completely flooded and the Pre-hospital Emergency Care department got totally destroyed. You have to start again.

Choice 1 : Back to start

Saint-Hyacinthe college

I'll do the drive!

It starts off fine! You pull off the drive, but after a while it starts to become difficult. Your small Toyota echo doesn't make you feel safe during the winter, the gas price is way more expensive in the city and your grades start to suffer because you are on the road more than you are studying. You have to go back.

Choice 1 : Go back

A snowwy road

I'll try the residence life!

The residence life is the way to go! You have made a ton of new friends and you go visit your family every weekend! It's safe and you have a few housing options presented to you. Do you go in a studio for one? Do you go in room for two people and share it with someone else? Or do you go in a room for three which is bigger?

Choice 1 : Studio

Choice 2 : Housing for two

Choice 3 : Housing for three

Ahuntsic residence

Studio.

This is great! You can concentrate and learn to have your own place! All while being safe and near the school! A brilliant student in your English class really stands out and after a lot of flirtation, you two eventually start dating! Everything starts getting set and school is going really well. You graduate and start working.

Choice 1 : Now at work!

Dorm room

Housing for two.

Sharing the place with another person was fine and you two got along really well! Until their hair in the shower drain became a living shower mat monster that develops its own ecosystem! You refuse to touch it and your roommate found it hilarious. Up until the spores produced by the aforementioned ecosystem starts making your roommate cough. By then, you are showering at a friend's place until your roommate has learned their lesson. You have warned them about how it could affect their lungs, but they don't care. Thankfully you made it back to the room in time one day because they were having an asthma attack! You rush them downstairs and call for help. Paramedics came, and they gave some salbutamol, the treatment often used for asthma. That saved your roommate. However, their parents take them out of the residence due to their incapability of living alone and you are stuck. You have to back!

Choice 1 : I'll try the residence life!

Bacteria

Housing for three.

You got the best deal! Only $420 per month, but you are with a couple who is very open with their relationship. It was fine initially, but now it's getting to be annoying, even inappropriate at times. They start asking you a ton of questions because you are studying in the medical field. Asking what type of diseases or infections they could get. It was fun at first, but now it has gone over the top and you dread setting foot there! You have made complaints and now you have reached your limit! You decide to go talk to the person in charge. They decide that you three need to be separated. You have to go back.

Choice 1 : I'll try the residence life!

Couple stuff

Now at work!

After three whole years of blood, sweat and a ridiculous amount of tears you did it! Graduated form Ahuntsic and are now working at the prehospital emergency company know as CETAM in Vaudreuil. The equipment is great! The ambulances are all new and pretty! Now you have to make a choice, which shift do you start with?

Choice 1 : Day shift.

Choice 2 : Evening shift.

Choice 3 : Night shift.

CETAM + ambulance

Day shift.

It's the ideal shift, you can eat at a proper time, sleep at a proper time and not deal with insane nightlife. Everyone is happy! You have a successful career full of purpose and impart your invaluable knowledge by teaching the new trainees. They admire you until the end. You retire and with a very decent pension, you live peacefully with your family. You have reached the end! Thank you for reading!

Write a choice here.

Happy sun

Evening shift.

It's pretty chaotic! You realize that not many of your friends are free when you are off. Your significant other misses you. You can't do decent time management and in starts to hinder you. Not only that, but at your nine hundred and eleventh drug intoxication call, the patient stabs you in the thigh with heroin. You did not call the police for backup when you should have and are now facing the consequences. You become addicted and die due to a drug induced cardiac arrest. No amount of life support or cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) will bring you back. Go back.

Choice 1 : Now at work!

Syringe

Night shift.

You are having a hard time adjusting to the nightlife. No one is willing to trade shifts. Feeling alienated, you believe there is corruption in the company and far too much office politics. Your sleep schedule got quite funky and you are now suffering. You have been pushing your limit for the extra cash. After countless days of negotiations, you get sucked in and end up fainting due to sleep deprivation during a call. You start a major strike due to this and it becomes a rebellion. Your group ends up becoming quite radical and you end up in prison. Go back.

Choice 1 : Now at work!

Prison

I'll be independent and get an apartment!

You are in your own place! Everything starts off great! However, your landlords lives a double life and is actually in the Montreal mafia! He starts lifting the rent to unspeakable amounts and starts giving out threats. You start to fear for your life after a rock comes flying into your window saying, ''Leave now, or we will have to take action. Speak of this to no one. We will be watching.'' Feeling completely overwhelmed, you leave with your lips sealed. Go back.

Choice 1 : Ahuntsic.
