Sorry if I woke you in the middle of the night, but someone in your neighborhood is fighting for his life. I'm sorry if we blocked the road and made you turn around, but theres been a bad wreck with dying children on the ground.
When you see us coming, I hope you'll understand, and kindly give us the right of way as someone needs our helping hand. Sometimes a child is chocking, sometimes a broken leg, sometimes a heart stops beating and sometimes when we get there it's too late.
So if you see us crying when we think we are alone, you'll know we had a bad oneand we we're feeling mighty down. We don't do it for the money, We don't do it for the glory but for the life that might be saved.
Somewhere deep within us our souls are crying out, we're here to help our neighbors in thier hour of pain and doubt. God gave us something special to help us see you through. We do it because we love to help and because we care.
THE HEART OF EMS
Want to make a Paramedic cry, or drop to his knees, bury his face in his hands, bawl like a baby and slam his fist into the side of his ambulance? Easy enough to do, and it happens more frequently than you think.
Just load yourself up with "holiday Cheer," add a few beers and some mixed drinks, then drive your family home. After you refused to listen to your wife suggest that maybe she should driveYour male ego kicked in and you stated "Aw heck I can drive."
Twenty minutes later your standing in the darkness on the side of a highway, with broken glass and spilled gasoline at your feet. Your wife is screaming pinned beneath jagged edges of twisted steel. Your two year old daughter is silent, your six year old son is sprawled face down in the mud some thirty feet away.
The Paramedics arrive and find the lives of the man who drove under the influence, has erased his families lives. You turn to see the police speaking to the driver alcohol fills the air, you watch as he stumbles and slurs his speech as he tries to explain what happened. The paramedic pauses for a moment and says a prayer, his eyes filling with tears, for the woman and children whose lives have ended so suddenly because of a drunk driver who had no regard for his family only "male ego".
How to Make A Paramedic Cry
HELLO ARE YOU THERE?
Hello are you there? Can you feel my hand on your arm? Will you talk to me?
Does this hurt? Please don't move your head, do you remember what happened?
Hello I'm still here, can you tell me what happened? Did you see the other car?
I'm cutting your clothes off, did that hurt? I'm sorry, show me, show me where.
Shhhh, take a deep breath for me. Take it easy now, breath again. Can you open your eyes for me?
It's just a blanket, we have to cut the roof off. Can you feel me touching you legs?
Please leave the collar on. What is your name? Jack? Hi Jack I'm Dave, thats just the roof coming off. Damnit Bill watch the glass! Sorry Jack, you're really wedged in here.
Jack, now listen, were putting a special brace on your back. Please let us do all the work, I know the straps are tight. They have to be. Jack I'm putting a needle in your arm. Theres still some parts to cut away yet. Are you still with me Jack? Stay with me here, Jack?
No Jack no one is going to die today, Not on my watch. Jack look at my finger. How many fingers am I holding up? It's ok Jack, you can cry. Yes Jack you've been badly hurt. No, everyone else is fine. They were wearing seat belts. No Jack, I wouldn't lie, they're ok. Please lie still, Jack, I've got something for your pain.
Really Jack, look, I'm smiling, I don't smile at people who are dying. Take care Jack, and get better for that beautiful baby of yours.
THE EMS PRAYER
As I perform my duty Lord
Whatever the Call,
Help to guide and keep me safe
From dangers big and small.
I want to serve and to do my best
No matter what the scene,
I pledge to keep my skills refined,
My judgement quick and keen.
This is my calling to give of myself
Most do not understand,
But I stand ready at all time's
To help my fellow man.
To have the chance to help a child
Restore his laugh with glee,
A word of thanks I might not hear,
But knowing is enough for me.
The praise of men is fine for some,
But I feel truly blessed,
Thank you, Oh Lord, for you have chosen me: To serve in EMS!
These Colors Don't RUN and NEVER WILL; God Bless the USA

Why One become EMT'S and Paramedics?
Individuals who become emergency medical technicians as well as paramedics have a special drive, they have a deep desire to help the sick and injured. The men and women of emergency medical services are rare breed, these brave and committed individuals do not do it for the money as the average E. M. T. and paramedic makes under $30,000.00 a year.
Yet they devote two years of their life in training to treat both the sick and the injured. Once they've graduated they join agencies whether they are public, volunteer or private. These very special people to do not work 9:00 to 5:00 jobs, instead the vast majority of emergency medical personnel work twelve to fourteen hour shifts, others work 24 hour shifts. An average work week for these individuals range from four to five days a week, the job of an emergency medical technician is a stressful one and can be stressful on their families.
Over the past decade emergency medical personnel have been faced with domestic terrorism, international terrorism, and school shootings. In Oklahoma City 168 individuals were killed after a domestic and sadistic attack at the Murrah Federal Building, countless others were injured. In 1993 the world trade center was attacked resulting in several deaths. In the nineties, emergency medical personnel witnessed the senseless murders and additionally the wounding of students on school campuses. These senseless tragedies faced by our emergency medical services personnel are facing these situations more frequently. Then on September 11, 2001, EMS Personnel faced their greatest challenge, with the attacks on the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and in the failed hijacking that resulted in the crash of flight 93 in Pennsylvania.
In the past decade request for emergency medical services have dramatically changed. As E. M. T's and Paramedic's, their job take's them into several diverse cultures, a example of this would be, a heart attack victim in a professional building, to areas that individuals refer to as skid row, they respond to car accident's on prom night with the occupants entwined in the twisted wreckage, they respond to calls in affluent neighborhoods, as well as the inner city. These professionals transport the elderly from nursing homes to hospitals and hospitals to nursing homes.
So why do we become EMT'S and Paramedics?
Do we do it for the media coverage, no, the news media is still naive and unaware of the prices paid by these unselfish, and caring group of highly trained and exceptionally trained professionals. Newspaper articles in news media coverage often refers to these professionals as "ambulance drivers," so why do we become paramedics?
The answer is very simple, emergency medical technicians and paramedics do not do their job for glory, or hero worship, and they do not do it for the money. They do their job because of their dedication to preserving life; they are courageous and professional men and women who are the unsung heroes of emergency medical services.

Side by side we race through the night, with blaring siren and flashing lights.
A life's at stake, a precious soul,
perhaps too late, beyond our control.
Times like this have come before,
never quite knowing what's in store.
When we arrive, our actions as one, no thoughts need be spoken, just simply done.
To soothe a child's cry, to ease the pain, knowing times like this will come again.
Though it's done many days a week, the bond between us is quite unique.
Different than that of man and wife,
for we can say we've saved a life.
To some it may just seem routine,
the things we've done, the sight's we've seen.
But you and I know it's changed our hearts, the ways we've seen lives torn apart and seen life begin new and fresh.
All the while praying we've done our best. Someday another will take our place, a youthful, still unknowing face.
But never will time cloud my view
of all the things I've shared with you, for we are partners.
Please Never Tailgate EMS

Mommy went to Heaven, but I need her here today, My tummy hurts and I fell down, I need her right away.
Operator can you tell me how to find her in this book? Is heaven in the yellow part, I don't know where to look. I think my daddy needs her too, at night I hear him cry. I hear him call her name sometimes, but I really don't know why.
Maybe if I call her, she will hurry home to me. Is Heaven very far away, is it across the sea?
She's been gone a long, long time she needs to come home now! I really need to reach her, but I simply don't know how.
Help me find the number please, is it listed under "Heaven"? I can't read these big big words, I am only seven.
I'm sorry operator; I didn't mean to make you cry, Is your tummy hurting too, or is there something in your eye?
If I call my church maybe they will know. Mommy said when we need help that's where we should go.
I found the number to my church tacked up on the wall. Thank you operator, I'll give them a call.
I stood staring out the station bay window, staring onto the black
rain soaked street.
The station is quiet, the rig is silent, the faint sound of sirens past
echo in my ears.
The smell of diesel hangs in the air like a vivid dream.
It's 3 a.m., I still see the pain. I still see the fear. I still hear the sorrow.
I cannot sleep.
The silence is pierced by the emergency tone, my heart begins to beat fast, a
thousand thoughts rush my mind in an instant, what kind of terror has shattered
the night?
As the bay door opens, the rig awakens with mighty vengeance.
The dispatcher tells of a baby who will not wake up.
The dark silent street suddenly comes to life, red pulses of light disturb the
night, sirens shatter the eerie silence.
My heart feels like it will explode, I must cage my fear, my sorrow, and my pain.
The doctor tells the parents their baby is now in God's hands, his ever loving
embrace.
I walk what seems like a thousand miles, I stand outside of the hospital in the
cold rain as the tears stream down my flushed cheeks.
I replay over and over the baby's lifeless thousand mile stare, this time the angels
beat us to the call.
I feel empty. I feel cheated.
I feel angry.
Its 5 a.m., I stare blankly out the station bay window. I am numb.
The sounds of painful cries echo in my ears, the smell of diesel is intoxicating.
The rain gently falls.
The night is silent.
