An absolute hero. Largely unappreciated by the general population until they are gasping for their last breath after 25 pints of Stella and a kicking par excellance on a Friday night.

Definition: A person in which works on a ambulance, responding to emergency medical situations.
Characteristics : Paramedics are made up of many different types of people! This is what makes them so great. They all have different views and beliefs yet still have a brother/sister hood because they all have a drive to help others. Many Paramedics can come across as blunt ,cold or a little too honest, however they have a protective, soft and caring manner to them as well. They appear strong as if nothing can shake them but understand these people are NOT superheroes! It is not uncommon for them to go home after a shift and cry for an hour about the patient they couldn’t help, the patient who’s was to far gone. Sometimes it happens at random times, like driving home from the grocery store. Although every one handles it differently! They wear there heart on there sleeve and want nothing but the best for there patients.
Some people call these fine individuals Angels but I’m not sure they fall under this category either! Paramedics have a tendency to have the darkest sense of humour and are always shocking people with there jokes. These people are the most badass bitches you will ever meet! If you think the Paramedic/Emts are crazy, you should see the people who marry them!

"If the dirtball in Room Two doesn't cool down, give him twenty mgs of Vitamin H, slap him into a paramedic sandwich and transport him to County."

When the general public misunderstands how you (a paramedic) interact with the general public, or when a paramedic is socially misunderstood. There are many applicable situations to paramedic apathy, though it is mostly a lack of perspective from the general public, not actual apathy from the people who you call on to save your life.
When for the 10,000th time some jackass at a party asks you to tell them the gnarliest thing you have ever seen, And you inarticulately tell a lame story about a guy who was shot in the head but was still talking. Since they can't relate, and at some point you smile, you have inadvertently performed paramedic apathy.
Demanding lunch before the next call, while still joking about the corpse you just determined dead in a pool of semen, is Paramedic apathy.
