The elephant in the emergency room
Michael, EMS definitely has many hills and valleys. Anyone who believes it's a life of glamour and getting rich is unfortunately misinformed. Your contrasting thoughts accurately reflect the reality of what this profession is really like. It's a pleasure making an acquaintance as well!

"Simply hanging up the turnout gear for the last time does not strip a firefighter of his status." Steve Buscemi is a perfect example. He left FDNY Engine 55 in 1984, but on 9-11, he dug out his gear and spent a week or two of 12-hour shifts at Ground Zero.
