And that’s the crazy thing about EMS, is the next patient that you get doesn’t care what you just did.  They don’t understand what you just did, they don’t understand that you’re upset, and they don’t understand that you are trying to process what you’ve just gone through.  All they know is they called you for help, and they want you to be on your game.” – PMDC Supervisor Laney“Why do I keep doing this to myself?” It’s a question all first responders might ask themselves and, while sliding down a trauma center wall and covered in blood, Laney finds herself wondering the same thing. After she and her partner respond to an incident involving a teenage boy with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Laney has little time to process the incident before she must respond to the next call…and the next. Later that day, when she hears tires screeching in her direction at one of the hospital’s ambulance bays, she fears the worst – until she finds herself covered in blood for a very different reason.  Join former firefighter/paramedic and host Phil Klein as he sits down with his first guest of Season 3, Supervisor Laney. After achieving a high score on the public safety portion of an aptitude test in high school and participating in subsequent exploratory programs, Laney unquestionably knew she wanted to work in EMS. She discusses the difficulty in forging ahead amidst the compounding effects of responding to trauma after trauma and the incident that gave her the very important answer to exactly why she keeps doing “this” 12 years into her career.Excited about Season 3 of Stories From the Road?
