Well that all depends on which side of the provider\/ patient relationship you have found yourself this past year.\u00c2\u00a0 For the almost 40,000 patients, their families, and friends the answer is the system. How fortunate they were that dialing three digits would bring them a small army of trained professional EMS providers in a matter of minutes. The public doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t often think about us until they are having a really bad day.\u00c2\u00a0 Yet, as\u00c2\u00a0 unsung heroes, we stay ready to provide a service that our healthcare partners charge a lot more for.<\/p>\n
For those of us on this side of the relationship we need to be thankful for our calling. How many other professionals take their responsibilities as seriously as EMS people? How many other professionals put as much time, effort, and training for little or no pay?\u00c2\u00a0 Being in EMS is a calling and we need to be thankful for having the ability to answer this calling.<\/p>\n
On behalf of Midstate Program Agency have a great Thanksgiving day with your friends and family. If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re on the schedule that day then be thankful for the sacrifice, love, and support of those friends and family.<\/p>\n
Stay safe and God Bless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
