Salute

While clicking around on Google News today, I found out that this past week was National EMS Week.

And I never even knew there was such thing until now.



Whenever people start talking about paramedics and EMS, I start getting tense.  Somewhere along the way, I realized I get rather protective of medics and their work.  I guess it's just become somewhat of a 'natural' reaction for me.  Partly because having done first aid work myself, I know how hard the work is.  Partly because I've watched someone very important to me go through the EMS training, certification and work.

So please...

If you're a driver, please get out of the way when the ambulance is trying to make its way down the road.

If you're a doctor/nurse, please don't look down on these amazing medics.

If you're a patient, please show some respect for them.
