My brother is a paramedic for the last 20 years. He has seen a lot. The worst stories I have heard is finding a dead body that has been there for a week. He says imagine a dead mouse...times 100. I couldn't do it. I could probably do most of the rest of the job as blood and gore don't bother me. I've always been level headed when I've closely seen an accident.
We are encoraged to talk about it . Hardly any of us do .
Son had a real bad tour , called me on way home .
He said it was horrible bad .
I asked him if he wanted to talk about it , “ not now dad “
When he did his real world tests in Dallas a bunch quit .
Very high fall out rate , one guy fainted .
High suicide rate , high heart attack rate too .
They do get to goof off a bit , when it gets bad it gets bad quick .
They get paid real good money . Son gets 72 hours a week . |
Kudos to first responders
