I will probably just message you later, privately, so I can have time to construct what I want to say in a way that doesn't sound a;dlfja;dslkjfa;dsfkjl.<br /><br />Also; I have a lot of friends and family who are EMTs, volunteer firepeople, former firepeople, and nurses. Would you mind if I linked to this post? <br /><br />Lastly, XOXO.

If it's any comfort, the scenario where 30 critical patients were left waiting for transport was one of those extremely rare events - an earthquake, explosion, natural disaster, etc. That would only happen when there are more patients than the system can handle, which is rare.<br /><br />So although your accident could've had a different outcome for you, the training exercise gave you an insight in what it's like to be a statistic. Does that make sense?Jen Andersonhttp://www.fashionablylatetotheparty.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16232845.post-84207864847904854082013-02-16T05:19:57.784-08:002013-02-16T05:19:57.784-08:00Powerful post!

It was a good deed to have done in terms of training others. Hopefully the opportunity to confront lingering stuff from your accident is ultimately helpful - it sure sounds stressful to me! painting with firehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578014572547587329noreply@blogger.com
