The emergency service

i would report to shift at 6:45. shift lasts 12 hours so from 7-7. sometimes we would work overtime. we attend emergency calls all day handing over patients to hospitals and performing medical examinations enroute. there is no specific lunch time so you eat when you can. uniform and equipment must be bought by you. Posts come out now and then but are not guaranteed if you volunteer. i have learnt a lot of efficient ways to do things but also pick up bad habits. it is great to market yourself but difficult to move up in the country.

Pros: great to market oneself
Cons: long unpredictable hours

Career growth opportunities

My experience in the department more than anything is how complex the job is. You do not know what to expect and its helps one to learn new things . What I dislike is that there is no sense of professionalism and it is highly politically influenced. The Most challenging part is dealing with the difficult community members and politicians.

Pros: increased learning experience on a daily basis.
Cons: High Political influences
