Sometimes the emergencies we attend appear as minor accidents unworthy of EMS attendance… but it is important to remember, what we see every day may be the scariest thing that has ever happened in the lives of some people… so be patient with the public, they may just believe you saved their life today…

Bringing Out the Dead - Paramedic Frank Pierce
“Saving someone’s life is like falling in love. The best drug in the world. For days, sometimes weeks afterwards, you walk the streets, making infinite whatever you see. Once, for a few weeks, I couldn’t feel the earth - everything I touched became lighter. Horns played in my shoes. Flowers fell from my pockets. You wonder if you’ve become immortal, as if you’ve saved your own life as well. God has passed through you. Why deny it, that for a moment there - why deny that for a moment there, God was you?”
