[QUOTE="Keola P, post: 825320, member: 67013"] Very sad, my heart goes out to this Gentleman and His family. Another fallen hero, putting his life on the line to help others. RIP Brother. I've also been assaulted, scratched, kicked in the nuts, spat on, had various objects flown at me, but I have been fortunate enough to not have any weapons pulled on me yet. One of our supervisors at a west Oahu EMS unit always wears a bullet proof vest since he got guns pulled on him on several occasions. It sucks that we're the ones there to help and yet we're met with such hostility. Then again, this is not the norm in most cases.You never know what kinds of characters you'll run into out in the field, so it's best to be prepared for the worst. On a better note, I've been offered money which of course I decline, thank you cards, home baked goods, and best of all...a simple thank you, you saved my life. That's my motivation and what enables me to enjoy what I do for a living despite the possible dangers. It's a risk all of us in the field take and accept. To me, the rewards are far greater than the dangers we face out there. [/QUOTE]
