Thank you..so much,...for exposing the fact that paramedics die in the line of duty; I'ma new EMT...Paramedic deaths are never exposed to the media...us medics are like the adopted children in EMS; here in IL law we're not even seen as important as firefighters and police; u do not have to pull over for an ambulance in IL...so thanks again this video was amazing xo

@EMTxParamedicxTiff I have heard about how rediculous IL treats its EMS workers. Its disgusting. Thank you for putting up with such a state and still working. The field is young itself, and the world hardly realizes what it would be like to have just 1 day without EMS.

I just was forced to take a medical retirement after 29 years as a paramedic. Glory? What glory? Good paycheck? Get real. Missed birthdays, holidays...oh yeah, 100's of them. The satisfaction of knowing you had a small part in returning that loved one home to their family? Priceless. If I had not lost 60% of my heart when I had went into full cardiac arrest last Dec...I would still be there. Don't cast stones until you walk a mile in our shoes.

To all of those who every morning leave your homes with the star of life engraved on your souls, wherever you came from, wherever you are, stay safe.

@Projectdie yea EMT-Basic's(the lowest level on an ambulance) doesnt even do too much...IL all together is a pretty crappy state...not to mention we only get 20k from the state..nothing from federal....but I got into the job to save lifes and its been awesome so far...

[EMTxParamedicxTiff]

@mcgzer oh once u start ur ride alongs u'll be excited for the test...good luck!

[mcgzer]

@LittleTxBrat absolutely. im in 7 years, and no matter how "over it" or how burnt out i feel, i know nothing will ever compare to the feeling i get when i get a save. i just cant give that up.
