tabdog,
I like the image of a kid in an ambulance arriving at school. You must
have seen some gruesome sights for a kid in his teens.
OT
The first day on the job, the first call that came in was an automobile
accident on the highway. A woman was mangled and dead. Her little
boy was not seriously injured.
Picking up my first body in such conditions was a challenge, but that
did not prepare me for the scene at the hospital.
While we were unloading the woman at the emergency room, her
husband showed up and was asking me questions like I was a doctor.
It was hard to see the kind pain he was going through, and even harder
for this kid to answer his questions.
Kids that get mangled are even harder to take. Their parents were feeling
what all parents fear most.
The reason I could do it may be the same reason they send kids to war,
they (we) have not really learned that it is too hard to bear.......
Happy Huntin,
