The man I give my utmost admiration to though has to be my son who is a chief paramedic who has to be first on the scene at awful tragedies, tend to drunks at weekends, deal with the most traumatic issues with children and battered wives, then put it all behind him at the end of his shift and go home to his wife and children. Not something I could do I'm sad to say but thank God there are people out there who can.
I completely agree jonsie.
My mother is also a paramedic. The shifts they have to work and the things they must see would put a strain on anyone. I applaud their resolve, their patience and as you say, their ability to not let it rule their lives outside of work. That's not to say its doesn't affect my mother ever, but she is great at letting go.
