He has been studying science and mathematics at school for several years, but had not studyed any pratical medical subjects. Roddie is now the youngest person in our country to work with the medical volunteers who assist ambulance personnel. He has been helped for 4 months. " While assisting the experts, I had tryed to observe and learn", says Roddie. "Before I started this job, I had learnt a heart attack or an injury except in books and films and I have not been seeing a sick person. Now I feel confident I can assist people in emergencies"."We have been working with Roddie for several months", said Derek Gilliam,professional ambulance paramedic,"and although he had not any experience before he started, he is very enthusiastic and quick, and have not been helped a lot. He has the qualities of an excellent doctor". Roddie takes his final school exams later this year, and hopes to win a place at medical school.
