PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THE LISTED COORDINATES, THE CACHE IS NOT THERE! Solve the puzzle below in order to find your final GZ.
According to Ambulance Victoria there were 836,082 calls for emergency ambulances in 2015-16, 589,847 emergencies requiring paramedics and 477,851 emergency patients transported to hospital. Being a paramedic is about a lot more than lights and sirens and rushing to help people in need. Paramedics are highly skilled and educated individuals who perform clinical procedures, administer drugs, maintain patient records and decide the most appropriate care for each patient they attend. Paramedics help people in non-life threatening situations too, from sporting injuries to routine transport between hospitals and health services.
On any given day, a paramedic may:
- Attend medical emergencies and accidents which may require the administration of advanced life support.
- Assess, treat and manage the patient’s treatment en-route to hospital.
- Perform invasive techniques such as intravenous cannulation, administration of pain-relieving drugs, fluid resuscitation in the trauma setting and advanced airway management.
- Lift and place patients on stretchers, load the stretchers into ambulances and transport patients to hospital.
- Prepare patient care records and other written reports on the state of a patient’s injuries and the treatment provided.
- Triage patients to the most appropriate medical facility.
- Provide routine transport for patients from home to hospital and return, e.g. for patients requiring further treatment or specialised treatment such as occupational therapy and chemotherapy.
- Perform daily vehicle and equipment checks, making sure that ambulances and medical supplies (including drugs) are accounted for, and that equipment is in good working conditions.
- Attend public gatherings such as large sporting events, where accidents or other health emergencies may occur.
They are an amazing group of people doing their best every day to help people in often challenging and distressing situations. Hats off to all of them. Thanks to Ambulance Victoria for the information above.
