Our best on your worst day,
"Managing hemorrhagic shock secondary to anything"
Why we do what we do
People do things for various reasons, for some of us it is an intrinsic factor while for others it is an extrinsic one.
But for those of us who have experienced tragedy in our personal lives need is more deeply rooted. When a society won't do what needs to be done to protect itself and citizens, then we prepare ourselves as EMS Specialists to help society after the aftermarth and tragedy and in so doing help metigate future occurences.
For others it is that monthly pay cheque, that job promotion or career change but the very essence of what we do is being there because we care.
EMS is not about you or me but those we seek to serve selflessly, the very essence of humanity.
Whatever our reasons some of us a destined to destroy ourselves no matter how much we are helped.
Ask yourself what have you done to be proud, what have you contributed to making the life of another meaningful.
what type of person are you, are you the type who, stand by and watch things happen, are you the type who standby and wonder what happened or are you the type who help make things happen for positive change, if so then join us in making that positive difference in the lives of others.
The only thing necessary for evil to prevail is for good men to stand by and do nothing.
