The notion that ‘EMS is never off-duty’ speaks to the overwhelming willingness of those in the profession to put their skills to use whenever they’re needed.
We’d like to recognize this 10-year-old girl from Kansas who operates by the same code. She learned sign language from her mother, and noticed an ambulance crew treating a car crash victim who appeared to be deaf.
“I saw that she was signing, so I decided to go help,” Yesenia Diosdado said. “I was really nervous.”
The Rising Star Elementary School students received a medal and certificate of thanks from Johnson County Med-Act, and we’d like to honor her as our EMS1 Hero of the Week.
