Re: Intro/Martha--- 911 operators/Martha and Debra V.

[Guest guest]

I love it two. I have been a practing paramedic and

EMS educator for 30 years now. I came off the truck a

little while back because of a traumatic shoulder

fracture and disassociation of the scapula.

Was doing full time EMT and first responder as well

as CPR and first aide classes until December when I

could no longer stand the pain of standing and doing

the labs.

My dispatchers were all pretty good except when they

got " HUNGREY'.. lol.

You guys rock..
