In a recent episode of the popular talk show, Conan O’Brien welcomed a special guest, Chris, a paramedic from Chico, California. Right off the bat, it was clear that Chris and Conan hit it off, finding common ground in their interests in history and more.
Chris, who admitted to being a fan of Conan, revealed that he is currently working as a paramedic but has aspirations of becoming a broadcaster. Conan was quick to compliment Chris on his cool mustache and broadcaster voice, expressing his belief that they would be friends in real life.
As the conversation delved into Chris‘s profession, he shared that being a paramedic is both rewarding and difficult. He explained that the most significant compliment he receives is being invited into a stranger’s home during an emergency. Chris expressed his gratitude for the trust people place in him and his dedication to doing his best to help them.
Conan marveled at Chris‘s calm demeanor in high-pressure situations. Despite there being blood and potential life-threatening situations, Chris admitted that he handles those moments with ease. In a lighthearted exchange, Conan jokingly suggested that Chris might need a paramedic himself when talking to him on the phone.
Further insight into Chris‘s role as a paramedic revealed that he works alongside an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician), who drives the ambulance and assists him. Chris provides a higher level of care, including IV therapy and cardiac monitoring. He also carries a list of medications he can administer if necessary.
During a patient handoff at the hospital, Chris stressed the importance of his detailed handoff report. He explained that this report provides valuable information to the doctors and nurses, helping them understand the patient’s circumstances leading up to their arrival at the hospital.
While talking about his profession, Chris‘s positive attitude shone through. Conan playfully asked if Chris ever gave his driving partner attitude, considering all his additional responsibilities. Chris cheekily mentioned that he might occasionally brag about his crucial role in saving lives while his partner handles the driving.
The entertaining banter continued as Conan tried to come up with a nickname for Chris. Starting with “Rapier,” going through “Stiletto,” and finally settling on “Broom,” it was clear that both Conan and Chris were having a great time during the interview.
Conan couldn’t resist asking Chris if there was anyone in his life, particularly at the hospital, who might be difficult to work with. Chris gracefully sidestepped the question, expressing his utmost respect for every individual he encounters.
As the conversation wrapped up, it was apparent that the admiration between Conan and Chris was mutual. Their lively chat showcased the rewarding and challenging nature of Chris‘s role as a paramedic, while also highlighting his sense of humor and dedication to his profession.
