Should I become a paramedic if I'm not physically capable?
Hey all,
When I was younger I got diagnosed with an aggressive cancer, and the treatment has caused me to have hearing issues, and being very short / light ( 4'11, 40kg), but, it's made me want to help other people.
I'm currently in Year 10, and going over my career options - while on paper I can become a paramedic, I don't think I physically could handle it, although I do really wish I could.
What is the most physically demanding parts of the job?
