Sometimes life hits you sideways. A medical emergency at my barber shop brought back memories I haven’t thought about in years. I’ve been retired for five years now, but moments like that have a way of pulling old experiences back to the surface—often when you least expect it. In this video, I share stories from my time in EMT school and my very first ride along. A diabetic coma. Anaphylactic shock. A childbirth. Three calls in a row that shaped how I understood responsibility, stress, and the weight that comes with being the one who responds when things go wrong. This isn’t scripted. There’s no storyboard. It’s just me sharing a few moments that stuck with me, in hopes that someone out there—military, law enforcement, first responders, or anyone in emergency medicine—might feel seen. We don’t always talk about these things. We compartmentalize. We push it down. And sometimes it comes back up years later. If this resonates with you, know that I respect you, I admire you, and you’re not alone. ?
