He would tell me stories about how he would get called to a structure fire, and carry my mother and me along. My father would fight the fire while…

Adam Corcuera and Steven Blackwell were the first paramedics to the KFC and were trying to tend to the stab victim on the floor but this bellicose individual would not let them.

"After today, I am not going back up here," he promised riding across the field to the flat where he had left his bike on previous visits.

Yana, another EMT on shift had a few months of experience. However, it was my first call as an EMT preceptee. A student had tried to slit her wrists. “We can handle this,” Matt said…

lot. I was overwhelmed with excitement as I rushed through the hallway to make it to huddle. Not even a snowstorm the size of Texas, trapping us all at work for days, could dampen my mood that morning.
