#BlackLivesMatter (2020)

Abstract

‘6 foot 9?’ Another guess going wide of the mark from our third conscious and breathing patient of the shift—a guess coming a few minutes after my sigh of relief and stand down of helimed as it had come through as a confirmed choking. The life of a black paramedic in England is slightly difficult to contextualise. It is easy to say ‘my experience is my experience only’, but more often than not, I feel my experience is probably a carbon copy of that of other black staff. https://www.magonlinelibrary.com/doi/full/10.12968/jpar.2020.12.7.290 Abstract published with permission.
