EMS Gold Star Award |
New EMT Intermediate Jessica Smith received her second Gold Star Award at the June
2006 dinner meeting. Within the first month after achieving her intermediate
license Jessica was able to successfully intubate a patient, established
an IV and administered Narcan and D50. All she is missing is an allergic
reaction so she can use an Epi pen. So if you're allergic to bee stings,
look out. |
Congratulations to Pamela Martin, who was awarded the first ever EMS Gold Star Award
at the October business meeting. Pamela, who was also honored as EMT
of the Year earlier this year, was nominated by her fellow EMTs for her ability
to work well with difficult patients, expecially those who are suicidal or uncooperative.
Pamela is also described as professional, courteous and caring;
qualities that the MVFPD/YFD are proud of and her patients are thankful for. |
