Hi all,
I'm a second year paramedic student. I had a significant injury to one of my feet several years ago and it has recently been getting more painful. I'm doing all I can - seeing a podiatrist, physio, orthopaedic surgeon and getting a referral to a pain clinic - but I'm still concerned about being able to be on road. This has been my dream for a long time and I am determined to get there, but I wanted to know if any of you have any experience with being or working with paramedics that have any form of disability.
One thing I will make clear is that u understand the importance of this job, and if it ever got to a point where I was not able to pull my weight or was putting my partner and/or patients at risk, I would stand down. I'm not at that point and may never be, but I guess the fear of getting through university for nothing has been plaging me.
