Man for me I feel closer to God because of EMS. It can be easy to see Gods path for you, just listen for the tone page. Every time you hear thank you from a pt discharged after you have helped them from a bad mva, or making a sick child smile with a latex glove turned into a rooster you will know that you are still on the right path. God will put you and your ambulance where he needs you. There will be low times without these things and you might feel burnout for a little bit but give it time and when you are at the grocery store with your family a strange lady you do not remember will hung your neck thanking you because husband survived his MI after you hauled him in.
One that i think about every now and then. 12y/o boy atv rollover. basiler skull fracture. 6 months in a coma most of that was on a vent. After worked his 911 call and then did so many transfers while he was in his coma. Then one day me and my wife (wife=EMTB and partner) were almost ready to quit and go to another company when that kid showed up to the station with his mom and hugged my neck .... no words for that feeling. Extra note on that call he got meningitis as a baby and it left his deaf. the accident restarted his hearing, by the time he came to the station he already knew what his name sounded like, just awesome.
Finally: Luke 10 33-34 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him.
