## Kiki's EMS Training

Her journey as a lifeguard lead Kiki to join the Medical Service as an EMS on the 3rd of June 2023. Kiki, driven by her passion for saving lives and expanding her horizon from animals to humans, she embarked on a new adventure as an Emergency Medical Service (EMS) professional. After being recruited as a trainee, she eagerly looked forward to completing her training and making a significant impact in her new role. However, her initial excitement soon transformed into overconfidence and an inflated ego, posing a challenge during her early days of training. This overconfidence stemmed from her prior experience as a veterinarian and a lifeguard, clouding her judgment and causing confusion and stress.

During her training, Kiki had the privilege of being mentored by two seasoned professionals: **Quinn Rayne** and Octavia Rose. Quinn, in particular, provided extensive training that involved realistic scenario simulations and on-the-spot EMS treatments. Kiki greatly admired Quinn's expertise and received positive feedback for her performance under their guidance

Unfortunately, despite the positive feedback, Kiki encountered difficulties with the high command due to complaints about her alleged failure to follow instructions and disregard for authority. Surprisingly, these complaints seemed to originate from multiple sources, which bewildered Kiki. Faced with the accusations, she contemplated defending herself, arguing that she had only been trained by two Field Training Officers (FTOs) and couldn't have possibly received multiple complaints. However, in order to avoid further trouble, she chose to remain silent and refrain from engaging in arguments.

The troubles began after a triage incident involving a shootout. Kiki recalls hearing an FTO instruct her to transport a patient, a task typically not assigned to trainees without supervision. Wanting to ensure she understood the command correctly, she sought confirmation, after the confirmation she followed through with the instruction despite her doubts. Unfortunately, this decision resulted in her facing disciplinary action.

In response to the situation, Kiki was called to a meeting where she was given an opportunity to present her side of the story. She emphasized the valuable training she had received from Quinn, highlighting their brilliance and positive impact on her skills. Ultimately, the meeting concluded that the issues stemmed from miscommunication and misunderstandings. Although Kiki did not believe she was entirely at fault, she accepted the critique and viewed it as an opportunity for growth and learning.

From that point forward, Kiki's training progressed smoothly, and she received consistent positive feedback. Finally, on June 16, 2023, she successfully completed her training and was promoted to the position of EMT. This marked a significant milestone in her journey towards becoming a skilled and compassionate EMS professional.

Kiki expresses profound gratitude for the invaluable training she received from all the Field Training Officers (FTOs), with special recognition given to Quinn and Octavia. Their unwavering patience, dedication, and expertise played a crucial role in instructing and guiding Kiki throughout her journey. Their commitment to her growth and development as an EMS professional is greatly appreciated and has left a lasting impact on Kiki's skills and knowledge. Their mentorship has not only equipped Kiki with the necessary tools to succeed but has also instilled in her a sense of purpose and dedication to her chosen path.
