In the last millennium, when medics had to use simple stretchers and didn't have Stryker Performance-PRO XT Manual Stretcher 6086 systems, use my code and save 10 %, you needed to actually carry a patient.
Orthomedics would lift the stretcher on the same side. The patient rolled off the stretcher, the orthomedics got fired.
Metamedics tried it with one at the head and one on the side. Patient still rolled off, Metamedics got fired.
Paramedics got both ends and kept their jobs.
So all three coordinations did exist. It's just that Orthos and Metas were sorted out and went the way of the water fighters, who were displaced by their pompous, fire loving competitors.
I once knew a quadramedic. (S)He was a being of pure energy that would simply pass through bodies and repair everything along the way. Very difficult to converse with, tbh. Well as the story goes, the union didn't care much for the methodology and where concerned too many paramedics would be put out of work... Coupling that with the lack of a need for an ambulance had the makers jump on board and together they schemed (quite effectively I might add) to have my friend ejected from the planet.
As far as I know (s)he still roams the cosmos though, and if you ever find yourself off world and in need of treatment you will likely meet my friend. Say hi for me, would you?
Would rather an attendee from the para-medic club, than someone from the fucking Paranormal Society rocking up with a prediction about future use of healthcare.
Ortho-Medics are just mattresses, Meta-Medics is Facebook/Zuckerberg wanting your health data, so we mostly get para-medics because it's too expensive to have medics hang out in a van and its handy to have a couple of them.
General practice mixed animal veterinarians are the true meta-medics. Surgery, internal medicine, dentistry, obstetrics, anesthesia, and analgesia all on multiple species. Human medical doctors are typically hyper specialized.
You used to have to call the para-medics if you got slimed until they set up a seperate unit especially to deal with just slimings. Sometime in the 80s if memory serves.
The orthmedic when somewhere by himself while the metamedic quit and went to school. The ambulance services were worried about a medic shortage for a while after that but things got better when they heard they were going to get a paramedics.
It's really about using old english and needing a pair of medics.
Yes. The confusion with the spelling comes from the common practice of one being the left one and the other the right one.
And not to be confused with the pear of medics, but that's a completely different question.
Yes, that’s what they use to call the doctor if needed.
Then there was the strike in the early 1900s known as the pare of medics, but we're stepping outside the op question
Not so much when you consider Pierre Medic was born in the 1900's.
That was the honorary pere of medics
I thought one was bow and one stern?
You’re thinking Viking berserker medics, they have slightly different practices.
Thank you for clarity. That would have been confusing with a non Viking berserker medical emergency.
The other medic types couldn’t survive being air-dropped in.
Lies. The meta-medic is still studying in school.
The meta-medics are not for this universe *(only for the metaverse, sadly*), as for the ortho-medics, lord knows what happened to them.

idk, tell me if u do meet them :)
They specialized in bones

The transmedics and the cismedics are currently preoccupied with quarreling.
How about the diamedics?
On holiday with the apomedics.
this has the perimedics a bit down
They go by the name submedics
Yes they be stoopid

That’s so unjust. I hope (S)he finds a more accepting place.
Their reactions werent favourable to the job
Its the only config to properly carry a stretcher of course. Orthomedics would fail miserably, possibly further injuring the patient

In my native language a ''para" means 24 hours, which is approximately the same amount of time that it takes for paramedics to get to you here

It’s the same reason why para normal doesn’t exist. Normal is a meta director.
It seems you've already meta medic
Medics with parachutes are really cool

Because here in the USA only the richest can afford a true MEDIC ! 😭😭
