I haven't read through all the comments so this may have already been covered here. But I am a Paramedic in the U.S. I have never had scheduled lunches or breaks as a medic or an EMT (basic life support tech). You eat when you can. If you are busy, you might not eat. Same thing applies for going to the bathroom. The idea of scheduled lunches or breaks is a completely foreign concept. Our law states that we must be in service 24/7 unless the vehicle, equipment or personnel are somehow broken.
