  5. May god always protect this woman! ❤

  6. State should fully fund her to nursing school if she so chooses. That would be a true meritocratic society. She is performing acts in a setting, of a caliber, that would be sought after by medical schools from their applicants.

  7. Does the EMT story from Indianapolis, Indiana in way related to the Story outta Muncie, Indiana their EMTs?

  8. Not all heroes wear capes.

  9. I’m getting credits to watch this video. I’m getting credits to watch this video. I’m receiving credits to watch this video. I’m getting credits to watch this video.

  10. We should be investing in these kind of things. Embedding emergency services in places they're most critically needed (let's not do this with cops, they need rework first)

  11. EMTs and Paramedics are overworked and underpaid. Hopefully things will balance out in the future!

  12. Imagine what happens when you think outside the box.

  13. I used to be intimidated by butch women but they are wonderful people.

  14. This is an amazing act of kindness

  15. They do work fastly, as i like

  16. Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today…..
