In this week's Quick Clip, co-hosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson talk about a viral photo of an EMT mowing a lawn after an elderly man passed out.

The 87-year-old man, who refused to let anyone else mow his lawn, was working on his yard when he pushed too hard and passed out. Neighbors saw what happened and called 911. After the call, the man's son noticed one of the EMTs put the gurney away and the other finished mowing the lawn.

In this case, Chris and Kelly said, a picture is worth a thousand words and proves that going above and beyond the call of duty is what makes a difference to your patients and defines you as a hero in EMS.
