Fatigue - mica paramedic 2

“On a couple of occasions, on nightshift, I have had to try to calculate drug doses (one was for a child that needed to be sedated and intubated). [But because of fatigue] I was completely incapable of it."

"I had to rely totally on the dose and volumes calculated by my partner. I couldn’t assist by even confirming his calculations. 

"My mind had turned off due to fatigue.”
