John Rowe, a paramedic student at HACC, commented, “This is going to challenge all of us to be able to maintain a state of readiness and a sense of resilience and tenacity that needs to stay sharp even though you may be fatigued because we do critical interventions that if we get the medicine wrong or the skill wrong, it can really be detrimental to our patient.”
