A Paramedic's Story

Critical incident stress is a constant adversary of first responders. Paramedics, being on the front lines of public safety every single day, stand at the delicate intersection of life and death. Because of this, they are exposed to situations that most people could never imagine: the beauty of a life saved, the trauma of a life lost, and everything in between. A Paramedic's Story offers the chance for you, a paramedic, to tell the story of your own career one shift at time. Each entry allows specific information about life on shift: unit assignment, crew, best part of the day, and most troubling part of the day. There is also space to vent, narrate, create, or document a career spent as an emergency responder. It can be therapeutic, imaginative, and, most importantly, anything that you want it to be. As a paramedic, this is your story.
