her glass-top coffee table. The glass shattered with me on top of it and the next thing I remember was the ambulance being at her house. Apparently a large piece of the glass was in the top of my foot and had cut through an artery and tendons. I don’t remember the pain but I remember being so scared and intimidated by the ambulance.

Now I am sitting in the back of the ambulance, a rookie EMT, with my purple gloves on, stethoscope around my neck, and a red medical bag in hand. I…
