A Jaw-Dropping, Hair-Raising moment

But one that was extremely satisfying.

Several months ago, my partner and I helped to save a man at an event I worked at. I won't go into details, but his injuries were quite severe. Today he surprised me by showing up at an event I was working at. One of the event staff let me know he was there, and took me over to speak with him. We had followed his hospitalization and his recovery. It was one of those calls that stay with you, and the people who know him run in a specific circle that we are also a part of. So, we were able to learn how he was doing.

I was absolutely amazed to just shake his hand, knowing how hurt he was the last time I saw him taking off by helicopter to the trauma center. He is still recovering, but is doing very well, all things considered. I hope he continues to fully recover.

EMTs and Paramedics work like he** to save people. Sometimes we can, sometimes we can't. But we often don't get to see those we do. :-)
