Myah & Lloyd Thompson for EMS

Oh Heck Yes for EMS –

Dear Editor,

I am writing this in support for the up-coming levy for EMS. I have lived here for 25 years, with a diabetic husband. I raised two children here and live close to my elderly mother. Every single time I have had to call 911 for one reason or another, I have been served the most amazing and thorough care, usually with a smile and a can-do attitude. Our medics show up to help on our worst day, at our worst time. They come quickly, and get right to work, being so respectful of our space and  of our vulnerabilities and they do it professionally and with humor when it is warranted. ( A diabetic episode has involved some naked ballet dancing, on the part of the diabetic, unbeknownst to him at the time).

I have been flown off island for treatment, and have witnessed loved ones being cared for in the most amazing of situations. Our medics and paramedics are the best of the best and island life as we know it would not be the same without this service. I will always be so grateful for the kindness and level of professionalism I have experienced with our EMS. I am voting yes!

Sincerely,
Myah & Lloyd Thompson
