Sometimes you stumble upon something on social media that strikes a chord with you. The St. Louis County Rescue Squad shared a story along with a simple reminder late Tuesday night that did just that for me.
It s a story of an accident they recently encountered which ended in tragedy. If that weren t bad enough for the rescuers to face, they also had to deal with an approaching vehicle whose driver showed zero empathy for what may be happening. It s shocking someone could be so self absorbed, especially under these circumstances.
Recently we worked a devastating accident where the patient, despite our best efforts, didn t make it. Rescuers gave the driver every shot in the world.it was one of quickest extrications many had ever seen, and the medics pulled out every trick in the book to save a life.
