Anatomy of an Ambulance Call
With Paramedic & ICBC Road Sense Speaker - Ted Swan

You have a choice; you can cave to peer pressure, or you can stand in the gap with integrity in the moment and begin to build character. - Ted Swan

Paramedic Ted Swan takes his audiences through each gripping step of a trauma call - from the time the call comes in, arriving at the scene, how Paramedics treat critically injured crash victims, and what can continue at the Hospital. Ted will talk about critical incident debriefing - and the devastating effects a crash can have on everyone involved.

Ted's dramatic presentation will affect each and every member of the audience - some will be speechless, some will be uncomfortable, some will be resistant, but all will think. It's a presentation that no audience member will soon forget.

Ted has worked as a Paramedic for 18 years, attending to more than 16,000 Ambulance calls. He has assisted as a member of the Med-Evac Team - flying throughout B.C. to bring critically injured and ill patients to trauma centres in Vancouver. No one knows better than Ted how to bring the devastating crash scene to life.
