In the journals we read accounts of EMS responders injured in the line of duty. Our smugness tells us, “it won’t happen to me” or “I’m careful and will always be safe”. If we could ask the responders who were injured or who lost their lives each year, they would have probably said the same things. This emotional presentation will look at lives impacted by common, run of the mill events in our EMS life. The results of these incidents have left permanent scars on those involved, their co-workers, and their friends.
