  Viewing this SHOULD be part of school curriculum in our country.  (If only) Not simply as an example of how to be an great public servant, but how to be an outstanding human being and citizen.  Our young people are bereft of Role Models and Heroes. You embody the American spirit. Well done and best wishes for many years of selfless, satisfying service.

  Watched this prior to going to take my NREMT test. Before watching this I just wanted to pass this test and be an emt. Now I want to pass this test to help someone like this man has

  As an EM"T educator you brought me to tears! You really captured the reason we are here. To help people and to pause and ask, "What can I do to help you?" Too often we teach students to be confident and to be knowledgeable. This was a nice change and a point that has been missed in many classrooms,,,, we do not know everything and it isn't always what it appears to be.

  Paramedic 20 yrs in Portland, 7 years in Spokane. &nbsp;Very busy systems. <br>Often we get frustrated at frequent flyers that call multiple times for minor symptoms. &nbsp;<br>This is a good reminder that we don’t know what our patient is going through, and that our preconceived notions are often very wrong. &nbsp;<br>Great presentation. &nbsp; I think this should be mandatory viewing during our recertification.

  I’m 26 years old and have been a firefighter for two years. You see a lot of great and amazing things.. but a lot of sad things. Crazy things happen, but let me tell you.. we wouldn’t have it any other way! In our job, there’s a lot to learn.. the world is ever changing!

  Our FIre Department started this a few years ago with amazing results. &nbsp;We call it Integrated Mobile Health. &nbsp;It’s great for frequent flyers and follow up of vulnerable people.
