| Ok, now that I have you Attention..please read This morning a State Trooper was heading hot (lights and sirens) to a motor vehicle accident. A 28 year old woman and her baby, for no known reason, turned into his path and he collide with her at a high rate of speed killing her instantly (I hope, so not to suffer). Word from the people who worked the accident said he just didn't hit her and she bounced off but fused with her and finally separated. He struck her in the passenger side. The baby was flown to a Tulsa Hospital, as well as, the trooper and no word on them as for now. Ok, here's where the EMT comes out of me. I can not tell you how many times I have made eye contact with people driving while running hot and still they try to beat me, turn in front of me and even try to pass me. Number one, our vehicles are made out of the same material your car is made from and if we collide we will both hurt if we don't die. Number two, look in your mirrors to look for other cars and not to just check your make up. We know that cars are made to be sound proof and you may not hear us, but we really hope you are paying attention to the road and not the last text message you just got. My advice, just watch where you are going, look in your mirrors more often, and wear your seat belts PROPERLY. So, hopefully you will see your kids graduate, get married and have a family of their own. This could've been you. |

| i have a friend who works as a nurse on Vanderbilt Life Flight. I hear stories like this too often. I really wish people would pay attention when they are driving. I have been run off the road a few times by people not paying attention when changing lanes. it just scares me. I admire those of you in the EMT business. It is just something I don't think I could do.

| Thanks for the reminder. I was in front of a fire truck once, and it took me a few second to hear them. I felt so bad I pulled right over.

| what a great reminder. It makes me so mad when I see people who won't slow down or move to the right when they see these folks coming. Prayers for these families
