An EMT’s Life......
You wonder why the EMT was sarcasticHe just got done working a call where a drunk driver killed a kid
____________________________________________You work for 8 hoursHe works for up to 18 hours
_________________________You drink hot coffee to stay awake.The cold rain in the middle of the night keeps him awake.
__________________________You complain of a "headache", and call in sick.He goes into work still sore from the night before.
__________________________You drink your coffee on your way to the mall.He spills his as he runs code to a traffic crash with kids trapped inside.
__________________________You make sure you're cell phone is in your pocket before you leave the house.He makes sure his ambulance is stocked and ready before he leaves base.
__________________________You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls.He walks down the highway looking for body parts from a traffic crash.
_________________________You complain about being cold.He’s outside in December at 3am on a traffic accident trying to free the trapped passengers.
__________________________You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong.He runs out before he gets his food to respond to CPR in progress.
__________________________You get out of bed in the morning and take your time getting ready.He gets called out of bed at 2 am for the little old lady that fell and broke her hip.
__________________________You go to the mall and get your hair done.He holds the hair of some college girl while she’s puking in the back of the ambulance.
__________________________You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over.His shift ended 4 hours ago and there’s no end in sight.
__________________________You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight.He can't make any plans because on his off days he still gets called back into work.
__________________________You yell and scream at the ambulance that just past you because they slowed you down.He's in the driver seat, going to cut somebody out of their car only to find out that their dead when he gets there.
__________________________You roll your eyes when a baby cries in public.He picks up a dead child in his arms and prays that it was crying.
__________________________You criticize your rescue squad and say they're never there quick enough.He blasts the siren while the person in front of him refuses to move while talking on their cell phone and doing their makeup.
__________________________You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't.He’s told to respond to a stabbing, and he does it without a thought.
__________________________You sit there and judge him.Yet as soon as you need help he is there.

For all 2 see!!! for any one looking at this iam so tired of see the bad side of life. u see the ems worken walk in ur house trying to help some one out . the thing u don't see is when we walk out and how much that last death is still in the back of our minds. the family's cring and feel so sad when where back at the biulding pondering on how to take it. we know this job is hard but for a young mind to see so much is too much. the way we carry ourself is like we don't feel a thing. we do feel everything when u see us say we're sorry 4 ur loss we really are.P.S. plainfield rescue squad number of calls 6000

When the Lord made EMT's, he was into his sixth day of overtime when an angel appeared and said, "You're doing a lot of fiddling around on this one," And the Lord said, "Have you read the specs on this order?An EMT has to be able to carry an injured person up a wet, grassy hill in the dark, dodge stray bullets to reach a dying child unarmed, enter homes a health inspector wouldn't touch, and not wrinkle their uniform.""He has to be able to lift three times his own weight, crawl into wrecked cars with barely enough room to move, and console a grieving mother as he is doing CPR on a baby he knows will never breathe again.""He has to be in top mental condition at all times, running on no sleep, black coffee, and half eaten meals. And he has to have six pairs of hands."The angel shook her head slowly and said, "Six pairs of hands....no way." "It's not the hands that are causing me problems," said the Lord, "It's the three pairs of eyes an EMT has to have." "That's on the standard model?" asked the angel.The Lord nodded. "One pair that sees open sores as he's drawing blood and asks the patient if they may be HIV positive," (When he already knows and wishes he'd taken that accounting job)"Another pair here on the side of his head for is partner's safety. Another pair of eyes here in front that can look reassuringly at a bleeding victim and say 'You'll be all right ma'am' when he knows it isn't so.""Lord," said the angel, touching his sleeve, "rest and work on this tomorrow.""I can't," said the Lord, "I already have a model that can talk a 250 pound drunk out from behind a steering wheel without incident and feed a family of five on a private service paycheck."The angel circled the model of the paramedic very slowly, "Can it think?" she asked."You bet," said the Lord. "It can tell you the symptoms of 100 illnesses, recite drug calculations in its sleep; intubate, defibrillate, medicate, and continue CPR nonstop over terrain that any doctor would fear...and still it keeps its sense of humor.""This EMT also has phenomenal control. He can deal with a multi-victim trauma, coax a frightened elderly person to unlock their door, comfort a murder victim's family, and then read in the daily paper how EMT's were unable to locate a house quickly enough, allowing a person to die. A house which had no street sign, no house numbers, no phone to call back."Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek of the EMT."There's a leak," she pronounced. "I told you that you were trying to put too much into this model.""That's not a leak," said the Lord, "It's a tear." "What's the tear for?" asked the angel."It's for bottled-up emotions, for patients they tried in vain to save, for commitment to hope that they will make a difference in a person's chance to survive, for life.""You're a genius," said the angel.The Lord looked somber, "I didn't put it there."–Author Unknown
