For his 18^th birthday Roddie Lewis's parents gave him an unusual birthday present: a course in First Aid. Roddie is interested in medicine and hopes to become a doctor. He has been studying science and mathematics ay school for several years, but hasn't studied any practical medical subjects.

Roddie is now the youngest person in our country to work with the medical volunteers who assist ambulance personnel. He has been working for 4 months. ‘While assisting the experts, I have been trying to observe and learn,' says Roddie. ‘Before I started this job, I hadn't seen a heart attack or an injury except in books and films and I haven't been helping a sick person. Now I feel confident I can assist people in emergencies'.

‘We have been learning with Roddie for several months,' said Derek Gilliam, professional ambulance paramedic,' and although he hasn't had any experience before he started, he is very enthusiastic and quick, and has been helping 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.
