I saved a life this week. Nothing unusual you might think as an EMT/Paramedic of many years service. The difference of a " lived experience" to your perception of events. I hugged this patient 72 hrs after this event, welcomed into his home, spoke with his wife, son

AirCorps112 continues to be a valuable asset to the @AmbulanceNAS and the population of Ireland since 2012. They bring clinical expertise to often inaccessible and outreach areas that would have long travel times for land based crews. Well done guys , great work 👍. Stay safe .
