How do paramedics not feel fear or trauma when sewing people have cardiac arrest etc?
As someone who has had pulmonary embolism twice, a clot in my heart, and myocarditis, I am well aware that I am "lucky" that I am still alive. But this has caused me to kind of be anxious all the time that something else could happen to me.
So the idea of a heart attack (because I was close to having one from the Myocarditis) scares me. I view emergencies through the lens of fear and an always switched on nervous system.
But when I have seen paramedic staff at the hospital everyone seems so chill. Is that because you are detached from the situations and have never experienced an emergency health situation for yourself personally?
Or is it rather something in your personality difference that makes you to just take emergencies in your stride and without experiencing fear or trauma?
Because I would think that seeing someone have seizures or cardiac arrest, or neurological emergency would cause trauma?
So how are you not affected and without fear?
I want to become like this also 😔.
