I would love to understand what types of injuries I might be facing if I get the chance to work in an emergency room at a hospital in the future. #healthcare #emergency-medicine #emergency-room #paramedic

Mikayla, Dr. Romney is right. Those are just the types of injuries you can expect in an ER. You will also see a lot of medical like complaints. Head aches, andominal pain, nausea, vomiting, breathing and cardiac problems. I’m a psychic now, but I started out as a tech in an ER when I was 18. If you want to work in an ER today, you can become a tech or a scribe. Look up scribe America on the net.
