I'm a firefighter /EMT -IV Tech, I deal by having hobbies and the more than occasional alcoholic beverage. Plus you get less and less phased by shit the more you see it.

I imagine. Is there any event that has left you somewhat traumatized or have you been able to cope with it all?

>12am

>while we are unhooking the ekg the pager goes off
>Get dispatched to CPR in progress on a 1 year old
>arrive as the second medic unit on scene, engine is already there as is a command unit
>walk in the door, see the parents crying on the couch
>Can see a bunch of crew member huddled in a room,
>everyone has a task, whether its bagging, holding up the IV bag, doing compressions, dosing drugs, etc
>can see a pale pair of little legs moving with each compression
>Stand outside the door and wait to be called in
>Get swapped out with another guy to do compressions on the kid
>Start CPR, using only a few fingers due to the kids size
>can fee his lungs inflating under my fingers with every artificial breath
>Look on the kids face is forever burned into my memory
>after a few rounds of compressions and drugs the kid makes no progress
>call for orders to cease efforts, not required but lets the responsibility fall back to the local hospital and not the crew

I have been traumatized by quite a few calls but I still cope with them. The one above was probably the hardest. I love going on traumatic calls though in a way. There is no high better than the adrenaline rush you get working to save a life
