Practice makes perfect
The first time Manatee County EMS District Chief Jason Evans, a Palm Aire resident, delivered a baby, he was called to a jail cell at Port Manatee. Though the jail did have a medical staff, this mother-to-be went into labor early, and Evans was called in.
“I was terrified,” Evans said. “I m a young paramedic. This is the first baby I ve ever delivered. I learned how to do it in paramedic school, but I ve never done it for real. But (I was) very fortunate that mom was brave, mom was strong.”
The baby came with no complications, and Evans, who now has delivered four babies during his 20-year-career, said it was one of the most rewarding experiences he could have.
