Me and My Job
Think on your feet
(TEXT FROM SOUND BITE)
"You're always thinking on your feet. You always have to be expecting the unexpected. You never know what's going to happen. You might try to plan for every contingency but something will always pop up outside the box.
"Equipment will stop working, there'll be a malfunction someplace or your patient will take a turn for the worse or the escort will decide to have a really bad day. You're always learning on the job. There's not a trip that goes by that I don't pick up something. On the job training is continuous."
