To all of you who are judging Anaheim fan, please remember that he is a young man doing a difficult job.
In a perfect world humans would be saints, unruffled by the horrors of the streets. My cousin (now deceased) was an EMT in NYC. Until you have had to perform CPR on a homeless person who vomits in your mouth you cannot judge. Until you try to help the same battered woman over and over again, only to have her return to the monster beating her, you cannot judge. Unless you have been called in to an apt. whose occupant is sitting, headless, covered in maggots, in a wing chair, you cannot judge. It is infuriating to watch people destroy their own lives. I was present when my husband's co-workers were trying to take x-rays of a man who had caused a vehicular accident. He was so intoxicated that the room was permeated with the smell. He was combative and punching hospital personnel. Remember that HE had hurt others when he crashed into them because HE chose to drink and drive. I know an ER doctor who was punched out by one of his drunken patients. I was present when a 3 y.o., was dropped off at the ER after her baby sitter was too busy to watch her and let her fall out the third story window. Three adults dropped her off AND LEFT HER THERE ALL ALONE. You had better believe that hospital personnel was furious and judgmental. Humans are only human and can only take so much.
Those who do this job are not supermen/women, my cousin used to love to run into burning buildings to save children. He used to say that was the best part.
