Paramedic Intern

There was a brief moment of excitement yesterday when I thought I'd finally found someone lower on the hospital totem pole than a first year med student: the Paramedic Intern.

This lasted right up until a sedation procedure, when he got to put the oxygen mask on the patient and hand the suction to the third year med student on surgery rotation.

I didn't even have to put my gloves on.
