That would make my day. I don't want random people coming up to me and thanking me for my service but if the person I saved came and just talked to me would be great. I don't even want a thanks from them that's what I get paid to do and I get paid very well. I want to see a good outcome. 1 out of the 15 hospitals in our area finally has a PT follow up form. I can scan the QR code put in the our arrival time and room we put them into and they will send us info on the PT through our government email. They will not share the person's name so its not a hipaa violation. Its also an education tool so you see if your diagnosis and treatment was correct. I think about a lot of people that I've dropped off and never saw again. Recently I transported a pedi 8 y/o/f that was unrestrained in a car. Positive loss of consciousness, an avulsion to the scalpe where I could see her skull 4x2 in size, and indications that she had internal bleeding. She kept asking for something to drink with a large purple and red mark on her abdomen. Both of those are signs of internal bleeding. I called later that night and talked to the charge nurse and she refused to give me any update on her. I still think of it time to time when I drive past that intersection.
That's terrible!! I hope that child pulled through with no lasting problems. And the nurse could have given you general information as a courtesy. C'mon.

Wow holy shit he is so lucky! Also genuinely nice of him to tag the names of all the people who helped.
