KVUE
TRAVIS COUNTY, Texas — Austin-Travis County EMS paramedics are grieving after on of their fellow medics committed suicide earlier this week.
EMS staff tells KVUE another fellow medic committed suicide in 2014. While they may never know exactly what led their co-workers to that point, they said something needs to change to get them the help they need on the job.
“It’s the profession we’ve chosen. You see tragedy and you want to help and you want to make a difference and you can’t help but have that affect you,” said ATCEMS Association President Tony Marquardt.
