Pre-Hospital Emergency Care

After the graduation.

I am now graduated from college. Next, I will need to pass the test called "PNIC" to be registered on the national register for paramedics. It's the final test where they will challenge me on my knowledge and my physical capacity. I have one week before my test. What I am going to do with all this time?

Choice 1 : Party to celebrate!

Choice 2 : Sleep and study to be ready.

Graduation

Party to celebrate!

My friends and I are so happy about graduating that we meet every evening of the week to drink and dance. I even went partying the night before my test. I am not stressed about it because I have finished my studies, so I know everything there is to know about my future work. It is now midnight, and I am still at the bar. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Go home and sleep.

Choice 2 : Continue to party, the night is still young!

Party

Go home and sleep.

I decided to go home and sleep. When my alarm rings in the morning, I feel tired. I wish I could just sleep a little more. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Snooze the alarm.

Choice 2 : Take on me and wake up anyway.

Sleeping.

Snooze the alarm.

Since I decided to snooze the alarm, I woke up late. I will not have time to take a shower, to eat breakfast or to make coffee. I only have time to brush my teeth, put some clothes on and go to the test. I am going to be late. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Drive faster than the speed limit.

Choice 2 : Respect the speed limit.

Woke up late.

Drive faster than the speed limit.

I am so worried about being late to my test. If I don't pass the test, I will never be a paramedic. I really need to get there in time, so I am driving the faster I can. Because of my speed, I did not see the person crossing the street, and I hit him with my car!

Choice 1 : Drive away as quickly as I can to my test.

Choice 2 : Go to help this man.

Driving fast.

Sleep and study to be ready.

I decided to rest and to study to be ready for the test. I am used to having straight A's in all of my exams by working hard. I think it is the smart thing to do to succeed at my test. I finally did the final test. It is a success! All me efforts were worth it. Now, I have a choice to make about the place I want to go work. I already have a foot in the door in the company in Montreal because I did my internship there. Also, my mother has a house close to Magog. If I go live with her for a year or two, I could quickly repay my student debts while working in Sherbrooke as a paramedic. What do I do?

Choice 1 : Go to work in Montreal.

Choice 2 : Go to work in Sherbrooke.

Study hard.

Nothing.

Continue to party, the night is still young!

It is a great party! My friends and I are dancing and drinking a lot. It's been a long time since I had gone out to party. With school, I could not really do it without impacting my grades, but now that I am finished with school, I will enjoy myself and party all night! It is now 3 a.m. and the bar is closing. We decided to go to an after party. At this place, a man proposed to us to take some drug. I don't know what it is, but since I am going to start my new work soon, it could be nice to try it before I can't do it anymore. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Take the drug.

Choice 2 : Don't take the drug.

Drug at a party.

Take on me and wake up anyway.

It is hard, but I get out of the bed. I go make coffee and a breakfast. After taking a shower and putting some clothes on, I leave my apartment right on time. I am going to arrive 15 minutes before the test starts. It is perfect. Even though I am a little tired, I pull off the writing test. I am so happy! Now, I have a choice to make about the place I want to go work. I already have a foot in the door in the company in Montreal because I did my internship there. Also, my mother has a house close to Magog. If I go live with her for a year or two, I could quickly repay my student dept while working in Sherbrooke as a paramedic. What do I do?

Choice 1 : Go to work in Montreal.

Choice 2 : Go to work in Sherbrooke.

Waking up tired.

Respect the speed limit.

Even though I am late, it is important to respect the speed limit. When I arrive at my test, I am 30 minutes late. The person who supervises don't want to let me in. I will need to come back another day. Since this test is only available 2 times a year, I will need to wait 6 months before I try it again. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Study and work until the test.

Choice 2 : Give up.

Speed limit.

Drive away as quickly as I can to my test.

Finally, I arrive at my test. I am a little late, but the person who is supervising let me take place to a desk to complete the writing test. It is a 2-hour test. While doing my test, I am experiencing some difficulty concentrating because I am thinking about the accident. Is this person still alive? Have I killed him? It is at this moment that a policeman enters the room. He is looking for me. Somebody saw my car license plate. With that information, they know it is me who hit the man with my car. I am never going to be a paramedic. I can't be a paramedic if I have a criminal record because they do a background check. It is done for me.

Choice 1 : Start over

Hit and run

Go to help this man.

I run directly to the guy who is laying on the ground. I know what to do, I have been studying this for 3 years. First of all, I put my hand on the bleeding on his neck. I have bandages in my car, so I tell a passerby to bring them to me and to call 911. I will need to do a package bandage on the neck to stop the bleeding. After that, I check is pulse and his breathing to see if he's still alive. His pulse is weak, and he is breathing really fast. His skin is cold. He is not doing well. When the ambulance arrives, the man is dead. He did not make it. I am never going to be a paramedic because of this misconduct. I can't be a paramedic if I have a criminal record because they do a background check. It is done for me.

Choice 1 : Start over.

Man laying on the street.

Go to work in Montreal.

Montreal is a great place to work because there is a lot of action. It is a good place to learn and experience different situations. Since it's a beautiful place, I could stay here and continue to enjoy, but If I want to become an advanced care paramedic, I will need to go to the university after 2 years of work. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Continue to work at the same place.

Choice 2 : After two years, go to study at the university in advanced care.

Montréal

Go to work in Sherbrooke.

I love this place! The nature is vast and beautiful. The people are welcoming. The director of the company is really ambitious and have multiple plans for the future of the company. All my income goes in my pocket because I am living with my mother. My student debts are going to be gone within months. After I'm finished paying those, I will start to put aside money to realize my big dream of having a ranch. With that in mind, what is my next project?

Choice 1 : After two years, go to study at the university in advance care.

Choice 2 : Open a side business with my best friend.

Sherbrooke

Take the drug.

I thought it could be a great experience, but I took to many drugs, and I did an overdose. I didn't make it.

Choice 1 : Start over.

Taking the drug

Don't take the drug.

Finally, I decided to go home and sleep. Taking the drug is a bad idea. It could end bad because I don't know what it contains. When my alarm rings in the morning, I feel tired. I wish I could just sleep a little more.

Choice 1 : Snooze the alarm.

Choice 2 : Take on you and wake up anyway.

Don't take drugs

Give up.

The test is so far away. I can't make it. I will have forgotten everything I have learned. I give up. I have lost 3 years of my life for nothing. I start a new job at the minimum wage. It is not enough to pay my rent. I accumulate debts. After a while, my apartment's owner decided to kick me out. I don't have a home anymore. In the street, I meet new people and start taking drugs with them because it is easier this way. I overdose a few months after becoming homeless. I don't make it.

Choice 1 : Start over.

give up

After two years, go to study at the university in advanced care.

The studies are difficult, but I love it. I feel enriched by all this new knowledge. After two years of intense work and study, I finally graduated from university. I am so happy! I love my new job. It's amazing. I really feel like I'm doing a difference in the life of my patients. After a couple of years doing the job, I wonder if I should continue or if I should find a new project on the side?

Choice 1 : Open a side business with my best friend.

Choice 2 : Dedicate all my time to my new job.

advance care

Continue to work at the same place.

I continued to work at the same place, but since it's a physical job, I hurt myself. I did a wrong move, and I felt pain in my back. When I went to the doctor, he said I could never do the same job again. It's the only thing I know how to do. It's the only thing I have ever wanted to do. My life is over. I'm going to live on welfare because of my injury.

Choice 1 : Start over.

paramedic

Open a side business with my best friend.

I have always wanted to have a ranch when I am older. It is one of my dreams. I love animals, and I love the nature. It would be a great retirement project to continue after I am done working as a paramedic.

Choice 1 : Be happy and feel accomplish.

Ranch

I am happy. I have grown as an adult. I change every day to become a better person than the day before. I have lived all sorts of experiences and there are many more to come.

Choice 1 : It is the end.
