Fire: The Bravest, Police: The Finest, EMS: The Forgotten
Submitted by: Michelle
God created Paramedics so that Firefighters could have Heroes too. 🙂
We are the unsung.
Despite that we remain as proud and contributory as any other service out there.

Well said Michelle! Let me share a song that tells the story of how paramedics are heros and what they deal with on a day to day basis…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1ki6F905Bs
Appreciate the sentiment behind the song/video, it would take too long to mention everyone. You know if you’re a hero he’s singing about, that’s what keeps you coming back to work everyday. I am not a first responder in the field, but I’m an ER nurse and I’m someone’s first responder in the ER when they drive in shot or stabbed or having a heart attack. We’re in harms way with psychotic, violent patients and exposure to diseases everyday. I feel although nurses weren’t specifically mentioned, that we’re included. The song/video is for everyone that is someones hero out of duty. We love our EMT’s & Paramedics. Stay safe out there. You know you’re a hero! (reposted from a previous response)
Here, here! While it was a wonderful song, I too was crestfallen to see paramedics, forgotten, again. People assume we’re joined with firefighters, but that is not the operating practice of all cities and provinces.
