everytime i get commended on how i manage to interact with psych patients so well specifically my pediatric patients i always get sad because im literally just treating them like humans. i just talk to them. i love when people speak and tell me stories and the kids especially need someone to be that safe adult for them to go to and i am more than happy to do so. im glad that i can finally be the person i needed when i was in there shoes. I only want to be get better and be a better paramedic because of them. I hope those kids know that if there's no one in there corner i will be there and in my mind i keep them in my corner as well. I strive to be better because my patients make me better and gave me a reason to keep going when i needed one.
