Firefighters are complaining?
If there's an emergency, we'll run anywhere.

An average of 100 patients per month, a total of 3,000 patients were transferred.
A first-class emergency medical technician's close-up on-site dispatch

When you think of firefighters, what's the first image that comes to mind? A steadfast stand before a raging inferno that threatens to engulf everything, extinguishing the flames? A relentless charge into the midst of a devastating accident, like a building collapse or a major traffic accident, sweating profusely to rescue even one more person? A dignified salute to neighborhood kids clapping and cheering at the sight of a fire truck? That's right! These are all images of dependable, friendly little heroes who quietly carry out their duties so we can enjoy our normal lives as we always have.
And here, we cannot leave out the paramedics who are somewhat unfamiliar with the name ‘emergency medical technician’ but are familiar with the appearance of the ‘119 ambulance’.


The author of "I am a 119 paramedic on the move" is a paramedic.
She treats and transports injured people in urgent and intense emergency situations, and has transported an average of 100 patients per month, totaling over 3,000 patients to date.
She is a first-class paramedic who leads the rescue scene, and is also a hard-working person who never stops building up as a firefighter despite the public's suspicion of her being a 'female' paramedic.
Even in this life where every second counts, I picked up my pen to share with people the story of my unique career.


This book is a story of a female firefighter born in the 90s who experienced the field with all her might.
A book contains the raw reality of an emergency scene, where all the stories of the world are compressed, the people I met there, the lessons I learned from them, and even useful first aid knowledge. These are all records written in between work.
As you follow her story, which sometimes involves trial and error, and sometimes tearful struggles, but is always sincere in the field, you will soon discover that it is very similar to your own life in the same era.

Paramedics dispatched to the scene call the caller back to determine the exact location and specific circumstances at the scene.
When I was a rookie firefighter, I would start the call by simply saying, “This is a 119 paramedic.”
But if I just said this, the reporter, who was already excited, might misunderstand and think, 'You haven't even left yet and are just making a phone call!'
So, as I gradually got used to this life, I started to always say “on the move.”

People who get into ambulances drunk are either violent or asleep, or most of the time, one of the two.
On the way to the hospital in the ambulance, the patient kept asking for water.
“Give me some water! Give me some water! Water! Water! Water!” He paid no attention to my words that there was no water in the ambulance and shouted, “I’m thirsty. Is there no water? Water! Water!”
“Ambulances don’t carry water.
“I’m almost at the hospital, so please eat after your examination.”
Similar conversations were repeated over and over again.
I joined the fire department without any hospital experience, so I didn't have much experience dealing with patients, and I was also quite timid.
His voice grew increasingly excited and agitated, making my heart beat so fast and hard that it felt like it was going to jump out.
Suddenly he raised his hand towards me as if to hit me.
His eyes, bloodshot and red from drinking, were utterly murderous.

Arriving at the scene, I rang the doorbell and knocked on the door, but there was no response.
The moment the rescue workers began working to open the building, all kinds of imaginations ran wild in my head.
I wonder if he's in the house.
If there was, would he be sleeping or would he have chosen suicide?
Which room will he be in?
Living room? Bedroom? Bathroom? Veranda? If you were to attempt suicide, how would you do it?
Did he light a briquette or hang himself?
How much time has passed?
I wonder if I will not be surprised… .

“Why are you barging into someone else’s house???!!!!!”
As I forced open the door and went in, he got angry and nervously ran his hands through his messy hair.
Fortunately, the man was asleep and drunk(!).

A traffic accident on a rainy road is one of those accidents that should never happen and that you really hope will never happen.
Car-to-motorcycle accidents, especially those that occur in the early morning hours when it's raining, are not only quite large in scale, but also have a very high probability of causing serious injuries to the motorcyclist.
Once, I was called to a car and motorcycle accident and arrived at the scene. I was speechless at the sight of the horrific scene.
The motorcyclist's face was crushed and crushed… His body was soaked with blood… His knees were completely turned out, and he was lying on the ground, barely breathing.
However, emergency medical technicians cannot declare death.
In cases where it is clearly obvious that the body has been severed or the organs have been dislodged and scattered, contact the medical supervising physician to relay the situation and follow instructions such as withholding CPR.
If this is not the case, you should take all possible and necessary measures and transport the patient to the hospital.

I also have shameful memories that I would like to erase.
I was transporting a newborn baby and its mother together, and I was very flustered as this was an unusual experience.
The paramedic who was with me was also a junior who arrived later than me, so I was dealing with the situation while talking to the medical supervisor.
Fortunately, both the mother and the newborn were in good condition.
While I was on my way to the hospital in the ambulance, talking on the radio with the 119 situation room staff, the situation room staff asked me.
“What is your Afghan score?”
For a moment, I couldn't think of anything.
I know what the Apgar score is, but I can't remember the score or items specifically.
The Apgar score is a score given based on the newborn's skin color, pulse, crying, limb movement, and breathing pattern. Out of 10, 10 is the best condition, 7 to 10 is good condition, 4 to 6 is moderate difficulty and requires some medical effort, and 3 or less is a condition that requires prompt treatment.
“15 points! 15 points!!!!!!”
Seeing the healthy child, I was so satisfied that I shouted out loud:
The Apgar score is out of 10, but it's 15!

Just as each flower blooms at a different time and has a variety of shapes, I believe that everyone has their own blooming time and their own beauty.
I believe that these people, who possess their own unique light and potential, have been experiencing brief physical and mental pain and have come to me, a paramedic, for help.
(…)
I also think that my flower has not bloomed yet.
It is currently growing and in the process of blooming.
And flowers don't bloom just once.
It blooms and falls again, and blooms again.
If everyone lives in harmony and blooms like this, tomorrow will surely be filled with more smiles than today.
