Yesterday EMS, fire, and police, my crew included, pulled a three year old from the wreckage of their car with her parents dead in the front seats....in the rain and cold...no questions asked. It made me think about how fast life can be taken away.I just want to say thank you to all my public service brothers and sisters for doing what you do. We dont get much thanks in our field but you are all heores in my eyes.
Also, thank you to our men and women over seas and here in the states who put boot to ass for our country. That is all i have to say about that.... Wm |

Thank you for your service and sorry for the loss that the family is experiencing. I have been in emergency medicine for over 15 years and will agree that life is lost or changed in a flash.
Whiskey, dont underestimate how this stuff will effect you. Most of what i deal with does just role off me. But some of sticks with you and gets under your skin a little. I dont even realize that I remember an event or a patient. Then something will remind me of it and i can see it clear as day all over again. Dont forget to take care of yourself so that you can continue helping others. |

This particular call made me think a lot..if I could reflect on it...a little intoxicated so excuse any grammitcal errors and what not.
If you love them, tell them... Live each day without regret If you see a medic, fire fighter, police officer, or military personnel, thank them and let them know theyre appreciated. It means a lot to us...thank you guys for reading and responding. Be safe Wm |

For all of y'all that are "in the trenches" I shall be forever grateful! I was once tended by a first responder who happened to be in my employ at the time. A WONERFUL lady, Mary Nelams. Had she followed "accepted practice" and not intervened with the .357 that was in her purse, I likely would not be posting this today. I "should" have been taken to the local "bandaid station" where I likely would have succumbed to my injuries, but due to the fact that she told the ambulance driver that if he didn't take me to Athens Regional she would shoot him "out of hand" I survived a collapsed lung, 24 staples to the head, and 22 staples to the left knee!
Unfortunately, she, and her boyfriend were found dead Thanksgiving two years ago, in a camper, from carbon monoxide poisoning. I still wish I could have been there for her, to save her life, as she did for me.... 
I'm so sorry for your loss Strychnine. You and your family will be in my prayers! AND, I will be forever grateful for those who serve the public, to save the lives of those unfortunates whom tragedy stalks. I am one of the survivors that owes you MY life!!! THANK YOU ALL!!!!!!!! |
