Thoughts...

I have been looking into becoming a CPR/First Responder/EMT instructor. Being able to teach others to do what I am so passionate about doing would be amazing! I have helped with multiple classes, but would love to be able to implicate my thoughts and beliefs into the medical teachings. When people start out in emergency medicine they think they are invincible and that they can handle anything. Few instructors will tell you that you are helpless with out God. This fact has become so real to me in my experience in EMS and is a great comfort when despite your best efforts with perfect circumstances your patient dies. Likewise, I have cleared from calls and thought, "How on Earth did that person live?" I try to always remember when I mark en route to a call to pray for my patient and for God to allow me to use my medical skills to help the person I will soon come into contact with. I have personally seen miracles happen in the back of an ambulance! It is such an amazing place to work because truly every second counts!
