It is touching to read all the stories.

One part of the system that I don’t often hear about is all the teachers. As a paramedic student there is no way I would be able to be learning to do something I love, something I am passionate about without them. The instructors I have not only spend their time teaching but are also working paramedics. Without people like them, dedicated to ensuring we become the best paramedics possible no one would be able to become a paramedic.

So to all those who not only commit them selves to saving strangers and helping them in times of need but also dedicate their lives to allow others to do the same, Thank You.

My wife is a full time paramedic and full time mommy all at the same time. She always seems to keep things together and does her best with her work schedule to make family time. We are both paramedics so that makes it very hard to manage, but she seem to make it work.

I have learned that if there is still someone in need, my wife has a hard time say no to taking another call so sometimes she is late, but she always treats her patients as if they are family. She truely loves her job. She is my everyday hero.

Well the story is about my dad. He has high blood pressure, an irregular heartbeat and a bad knee.

Our next city over had a structure fire at 4:00 in the morning there were 6 stations there (all volunteer) it was a carpet factory. He was to go in. He did. After he had done his duties, he filled out the paperwork.

When he got home, we were going to rent movies and he had a seziure like spell. He fell. I saw him through it all. Luckily, we were next to our station so I ran over and got the guys I have known for 5 years, to tell them that my dad the beloved Sergeant needs help… He was put in the hospital for a week.

Afterwards he wasn’t allowed to go on any calls, but he was at the station cleaning, cooking and making sure everything was running for the next calls he could make. Now he is over a truck and becoming chief. I couldn’t single out just one person out of the departmnt because they mean so much to me…
