EMS Appreciation Week | BTS Special Episode
Starting May 21st, for an entire week, is Emergency Medical Services Appreciation week. I want you to imagine a society, that you live in, were you are unable to call for medical assistance. What would we do if we fell ill or became injured? How would we get to the hospital? This world is a reality for people in countries all across the world. The live constantly in what feels like an "every man for themselves mentality".
Our paramedics and EMTs do acts of amazing heroism, selflessness, and kindness that never gets recognized. They do this all while being under paid, overworked, and subjected to extreme trauma daily.
Join us as we thank these amazing individuals who give so much without any expectation of reciprocation.
