wow 90 minutes from chest pain to cath lab.
FT Job is 85 miles to a hospital with invasive Cath Lab; PT job is 125 miles. And we have quite a few days when it is too windy to fly the patients. Also at PT job it can take up to 45 minutes to get a helicopter to meet us (and I don't wait, I meet in route)
Slowly but surely they pick my stories up more and more. This one was actually fun to help make. https://koaa.com/your-healthy-famil...MOIPSWX9QRL3Be76S5GzvV0_8OCjsMJLmy3RAgCPCpRQQ

Wearing sunglasses during an interview? Not cool, quite the opposite and very unprofessional, but otherwise it was a good story.
The anchor actually asked us to as it was so bright outside we appeared to be in pain and that's how he wished to shoot it. I was always told not to and was surprised.Wearing sunglasses during an interview? Not cool, quite the opposite and very unprofessional, but otherwise it was a good story.

But calling our staff's professionalism into question this over such a thing is a bit of an overstep.
Fair enough, I can appreciate that. No photographer attended this, most of the story was actually shot with a GoPro.Having worked in the TV-industry for over 18 years (including filming propably over 1000 interviews) I can assure you that there are always other options than sunglasses. The film crew could have changed the interview location or camera angle. One could also always turn their back towards the sun. Among other options.
I also find it odd that the news anchor is calling the shots and angles. That should be the photographers’ or D.O.P.:s responsibility.
My intention was not to criticize your team´s professionalism as EMT’s / paramedics. I’m sure your patient care and medical skills are of high level. I was just trying to comment on the signal that sunglasses might send to the general public. English is not my native language, so I apologize for any unintended nyances in my text / vocabulary.
