Episode 25 - A Ride-Along with Emergency Medical Services
How does it work when someone calls 9-1-1? How much does an ambulance cost? What's a typical shift like for a paramedic? And how do they cope with the stresses of the job?
With 36 ambulances, 2 paramedics in each, and an average of one call every 6 minutes, these mobile emergency rooms and the teams within them see a lot of action - approximately 90,000 calls a year at Hennepin Healthcare alone! Join us for a ride-along and experience what taking calls is like for these first responders, and get an insider's view into how they provide care to the ever-increasing demands of a growing population.
