As an EMT we deal with a wide variety of emotional reactions.
 One can experience when faced with trauma, illness, dying, or death.

As providers of health care, as an example, doctor need to look after themselves, in all respects, because an ill physician is in no position to render any professional care as she or he was trained to do. The same applies to all health Care providers and this goes beyond the physical factors.

There are many factors and situations that can interfere with the EMT ability to treat the patient.(e.g.) “A terminal ill patient might wish to die at home, and the family might call for help when death is imminent”. At some times, even the most experienced healthcare providers have difficulty overcoming personal reactions and proceeding without hesitation. Patients need to be removed from life threatening situations. The personal health, safety, and well being of all EMT are vital to an EMS operation. Part of your training consist in recognize any possible hazard and protect yourself from those scenarios. These scenarios will range from personal neglect to environmental and human made threats to your health and safety. Today, sixty percent of all deaths are attributed to heart diseases with an aged range from  1 to the age 64, trauma is another leading cause of death. This occurred either quite suddenly or after a prolonged terminal illness.

The environment of death has changed since our nation’s earlier days, and it no longer a home setting scenario. The setting of death is somewhere else, like in hospitals, hospices, at work place, or on the highway. Illness can be much more drawn out and much more removed from daily life. Life support systems an impersonal care remove the whole experience of death from most people’s awareness. The mobility of families also makes it less likely that there will be extended family support when death does occur.  

Although. Life support measures need to be given to patients who are severely injured and you also may be called upon to recover human remains from highway accidents, or aircraft disasters, or for a mass casualty incident. In all these scenarios you must be calm and act responsibly as a member of the emergency medical care team.
You must also realize that even though your personal emotions must be kept under control, these are normal feelings that every EMT must deal with such situations. Somehow, this struggle to remain calm in the face of horrible circumstances contributes to the emotional stress of the job.

It is important to remain calm to perform effectively when you are confronted with horrifying scenarios, injuries or life threatening illness. A kind of self control is needed to respond efficiently and effectively to the suffering of others. This self control is developed through the following:
A dedication to serve humanityOngoing experience in dealing with all types of physical and mental distressBe appropriated and professional trained.You must be prepare to deal with a daily mental fatigue and physical stress that you must cope as a result of caring for the sick and injured. Usually you are going to deal with scenarios of death and dying which challenges you every day with a new reality of human weaknesses and his/her survivors emotions.
