The individual, often an EMT, partnered with the paramedic who is responsible for fixing their mistakes and ensuring that the paramedic stays on task when caring for the patient, completing paperwork, and transferring patient care at the hospital.
Responsibilities of the medic sitter often include; reminding the paramedic to clock in, ensuring the paramedic is well fed and caffeinated, keeping track of patient paperwork, reminding the paramedic of the patient's name, remembering the stretcher at the hospital, reminding the paramedic that they are not in fact god, disposing of sharps properly, reminding the paramedic to exchange narcs and not just memes at the hospital, ensuring that the monitor cables and IV lines don't strangle the patient while transferring them from stretcher to bed, reminding the paramedic to wear gloves, and remembering to grab the drug box on a code.

"So I'm training Andrew to be my new medic-sitter....so far it's going pretty well, except earlier he forgot to remind me that I needed to call medical control for Lopressor."
"I had to medic-sit Adam's hungover ass the other day. I reminded him of the patient's name 4 times on the way to the hospital."

A person under the influence of prescription pain medication whose personality and emotions completely disappear. This person will act like a shell of a human being that is being controlled from a remote location (i.e. a drone).
Mike: What was wrong with Brian last night? He didn't seem like his normal self.
John: It must be because he's taking some really strong pain medication for his back.
Mike: Well that explains why he was acting like a medicated drone.

The place Biology majors go to have their dreams of becoming an ethical physician brutally slaughtered whilst simultaneously getting into insummountable debt.
"I have a 4.0 GPA, 10 years of my life I'm not doing anything with, masochistic tendencies and the desire to owe an unforgiving financial institution $200K at 24% interest...I know! I'll apply to medical school."

A place where one wastes the prime of his youth studying ridiculously long, hard, tedious, dry, and unbelievably boring subjects, which he will totally forget about after the exams. Most likely going suicidal and severely depressed in the process, the stress will eat his life span like fire through wood, his hair starts to fall quite early, said subject's diet consists of energy drinks and caffeine.
Not only is one expected to be an academic genius, and a a God-like clinician, society demands that you become a social angel, smiling at everything and everyone, treating everyone like a king/queen, excellent with small talk, ..etc. Basically you have to be the enslaved incarnation of Mother Teresa.
If you manage to pull it off, you will then discover a fact that will shake the boundaries of your life, and either drive you mad, or causes the return of the suicidal thoughts ... The fact that Medicine is the absolute most inaccurate science on the face of the earth, and I mean light years more inaccurate than chaos math; each case presentation will make the text book seem like a fairytale book.
Come specializing, you will find that every chapter you've studied is in actuality a 3,000+ paged book. But that's another story.

My GSCE grades would've gotten me into any school I wanted, overwhelmed by the possibilities, I asked my so very proud parents for guidance, so Medical School it was. I wasted my youth, I am not happy, I cut myself, I've been suicidal, I have no friends, I haven't experienced anything in life beside studying and having an exam, my blood pressure has become steadily elevated, I'm severely out of shape, and my previously proud parents are now disappointed because I'm not doing well in school and that 'I'm no longer the son they used to know'.
