Ice Girl's public thoughts.

Got to be an EMT for a moment again.

Using this as a journal point not for a pat on the back.

I was walking with someone today while they played Pokemon go. As it happened I saw a disabled woman of color crash her motorized wheelchair while she was attempting to cross the street due to hitting a pot hole.

The moment that happened I darted into the street and immediately assed the woman she was dazed but not bleeding or brusied. She really just wanted to get back in her wheelchair chair and get back to going.

She was of sound mind and I started to help her up a driver got out and helped me with her other side as we picked her up and help set her back on her chair.

The person who was with me ended up bracing the chair because it started to slip out as she put her weight into it.

I then made sure it was working and helped secure her with her seatbelt ( the reason why she fell off when she hit the pot hole was it wasn't secured)

Then we followed her abit while she got onto the sidewalk with her apartment.

For a very brief moment I got to do my thing take control of a dangerous situation assess someone's health in the field make reasonable decisions and make it safe.

I helped today that feels good but I do miss being an EMT. I know once I become an advanced provider moments like this will only get less and less.

I mean coming to me for your physical so I can approve playing sports in college I guess makes people's lives better as well.

But it just feels like such a waste when I love emergency medicine and I have a nack for it to be encouraged to become some boring office provider.
