A Day in The Life of an Air Care EMT
It’s only natural that I would end up choosing a career as an EMT, especially considering my dad was a firefighter. I guess it runs in the family. I can honestly say, though, that there is nothing else I’d rather do than what I get to do every day as an EMT for the Orlando Health Air Care Team and the Orlando Fire Department. Like most people who work at Orlando Health, a big part of what I love about my job is helping patients heal. In my case though, I also thrive on the “emergency” part of it. Being the first to arrive on scene when someone’s been hurt or suddenly gotten sick, you have to think fast and act fast. And to do that, you have to remain calm when the stress level is at its highest. Throughout the course of my career, I’m grateful that I’ve been able to do this consistently.

Is It Croup or Whooping Cough?
It can be frightening to hear your child coughing or struggling to breathe. Both croup and whooping cough can cause these symptoms, but one of these childhood illnesses is much more serious than the other.

Is It Time to Stop Chemotherapy?
We often talk about people fighting cancer—as if it is a war to be won. But sometimes, it is not so much about defeating cancer as it is about making the most of your life. According to Choosing Wisely, an initiative of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Foundation, cancer responds best to the initial treatment. But if a tumor doesn’t respond, there’s a decreased chance that treatment will help. Choosing Wisely suggests that if you’ve had three different treatments and the cancer has grown or spread, more treatments are not likely to be effective and can cause side effects that shorten your life and decrease its quality.
