Indiana My name is Marc D. Greenwood. The first run was for a man down. He was an elderly male who had died suddenly in a motor home, at a family reunion no less. He was down too long to attemp a resuscitation. Yet, my partner and I had a lingering sense of sadness at witnessing yet, another death.
Death is always painful and difficult to deal with.
A sea of people thronged the car where the patient sat. The anguished shrieks of a woman pierced the air. As we approached the car I suddenly became horrified, the patient bore an uncanny resemblance to my own son. We attempted to resuscitate the patient enroute to the hospitral. As we cleaned up the river of blood in the Med Unit, I was disconsolate.
