    I’m a volunteer firefighter/EMT and have seen some traumas and burn victims. It’s definitely not pretty, I’ll give you that, but when I am on a call, I have a job to do. I protect life and property, and sometimes life is a little yuckier to protect, but I do it. I know that what I do helps my patient feel better. Any little bit of reassurance I can give them, like a smile, might just help them know that it is going to be OK in the end. It is good acting sometimes, but you just suck it up and do the job. And just ask any EMT, paramedic or firefighter: If something bothers us, we talk about it once we get back to our station. It’s like therapy with people who saw the same things you did. In the field it’s all professional, but at the station, you can talk it up.
