In their book, terms such as a troll, a deckchair (a drunkard), a citizen of the world (a homeless person), a white house (a cold room for the body) or a ticket to heaven (death certificate) appear. Sounds insensitive? – This black humor is a safety valve for us. We have no other option, we can’t take a break, we can’t have two weeks off, go to a psychologist and talk, dig up what it was for me, because we have to move on. All the things we talk about in the book, “a ticket to heaven” or “a white house”, are also ways of dealing with this situation – explains Jarosław Sowizdraniuk, a paramedic and lecturer who returned to profession. Adds:
We see that humanity, but you have to smile somehow. If we have three or four deaths in a row, I’m not supposed to think “it’s over” I can’t break down. I have to leave with a smile because I’m going to a child now, to whom I have to explain that I’m here to help him.
“This is a story about extreme situations, a story about humility that a rescuer has in him”
They say that they wanted to bring people closer to the profession of a paramedic, they wanted to show a man in it. – Our book is not a sensational story about how a turbo rescuer, having great equipment, sticks like an American texas ranger, texas paramedic and saves someone’s life. This is a story about extreme situations, a story about humility that a rescuer has in him. This is a story about a man in contact with another man, this is a story about us – patients, how we behave, what we often show with paramedics, what we don’t realize, what they hear when they enter the house where something is going on . What kind of world does he meet. For me, it was important to show such an uncolored, but they will not conquer with some ambulance lights, a sensational story about the life and work of rescuers, but to calmly reveal a little of this veil of secrecy – says journalist Justyna Dżbik-Kluge in a conversation that can also be viewed as a podcast Publication “Read well, listen well”.
“The lifeguard was not created only for resuscitation”
– Life threatening is sometimes fear. It’s that we don’t feel safe, that we feel that our lives will suddenly run away somewhere, because our stomach hurts so much and we have such a high fever, and this child is crying so special today that he will die in a moment… – explains Jaroslaw Sowizdraniuk. – Then the paramedic shows up. He is practically everything, he is a bit of a cardiologist, an internist, a surgeon, a neurologist, a psychiatrist, and a psychologist – someone who will just say “you know what, you exaggerated, today you exaggerated, because it didn’t require our work at all”. I don’t think this book is about us complaining about health care, that it’s not working, but we wanted to put that in context. What the rescuer was really created for, and was created not only for resuscitation – he says and adds:
Medical rescue or emergency medicine in general is not only fireworks, not only arrows, drugs, but also the management of exacerbations of the disease.
– This is a book with such a big question mark: what role do they play in the social system, not only in health care? – points out Dżbik-Kluge. We will find in it not only stories “from the carriage” and a dictionary of terms used by rescuers, but also in-depth conversations and a word from Sowizdraniuk about how to provide first aid.
