Nicely done! Scene safety or not, there's a time when any person, Paramedic or not, faces a decision where they may choose to place their own safety aside to help another.

Award given for similar actions to a colleague of mine. One of our SRU medics and his partner not only puled the lady out, but she was VSA and they got her back neurologically intact.

And let's not forget these four Ottawa Paramedic Service medics who apprehended the assailant who murdered Police officer Eric Czapnick outside an Ottawa hospital.

These Paramedics are all credits to our profession.

I think I saw a U.S. paramedic get that kind of recognition once.
