ALWAYS A MEDIC
There comes a time when you realize you have done more than you are going to do, and you answer your last call, and let the next chapter of your life begin.
When that time comes, I hope you understand how profoundly you touched countless lives because of your presence.
Magic and grace are in abundance when one person is responsible for the care of another.
During the time spent on scene and during transport there is only the patient and the provider.
There is no doctor to defer to, no nurse to assist, no holy person to guide the spirit when the battle could not be won.
All the frustration that comes with EMS; the, sadness and pain dissipates like morning mist when the sun breaks through.
The memories, when given proper time to sort themselves out, without fail will remind us that because of what we did while answering the call our lives have meaning and purpose.
EMS will survive without us, but we will not have to survive without EMS.
It’s in our blood, in our memories and will forever be an enormous part of who we are.
And nobody can take that from us.
