[QUOTE="Anaheimfan, post: 210044, member: 6263"] Thank you, Susie. When it comes to people, it's just triage for me. Some people are dead, those people can't be helped, so we have to move onto a salvageable person. It pains us to see a deceased person, but chances are better the next person we happen upon will be salvageable, and we'll make a difference, so that's basically the way I look at it. "Too late" is always apparent to us unfortunately. I cannot--and don't exactly want to--repeat the things that I have seen, but I can tell you that in some cases, you know all too well that you were Too Late. The first patient I ever worked on the EMS was my friend's grandfather. He had had a heart attack, and was down for 25 minutes before 911 was called, we worked him for 30 minutes, and unfortunately, he never came back...I was only a student, and in my mind, I felt that we could have saved him if we had been called sooner, but my Supervisor said it would not have made a difference, because that is when he chose to go, even if we had been there when he dropped, it wouldn't have changed anything. He had told his family 3 days prior that he was going to die, so he had made up his mind. And in some cases, that is the way you have to look at it, it was simply their time. And that's what keeps you from going Coo Coo For Coa Coa Puffs (CCFCCP) My second VSA (Vital Signs Absent) patient had been down for 6 hours before 911 was called. He was a pleasent older gentleman whom I knew well enough...And we couldn't help him, he was a Code 5 (Obvious Death). All we did was go in, check his Vitals, "declare" him, and write up an ACR. Going home that night, I had to remember that he was 90some years old, sick, and had been down for 6 hours anyway, so there was nothing we could have done. And I felt okay with the whole thing after that. I'm glad that your attitude towards safety kept the kids on your block safe, may I call you Safetybug? :happy: I actually kinda like that nickname. I bet that your Uncle was an amazing man. I can happily say that I have coping devices (they improved from clamming up and things of the sort) which work very well for me. I have an amazing group of friends to talk to both on and off the Job. I'm glad to offer any advice I can to make people's lives easier...And a whole lot safer. [/QUOTE]
