Exposure to Human Tragedy, Empathy, and Trauma in Ambulance Paramedics
Emergency workers are exposed to events involving human pain and suffering on a daily basis. They work to rescue individuals trapped in crashed vehicles, they extricate people from fires, they collect the remains of suicide victims, they care for victims of assault. Although for the most part emergency workers are equipped to deal with these events, on occasion one particular event will have a lasting impact.
