Oh, I read the article. Again, I try not to judge as she can make whatever choices she wants, but the commentary afterwards was a bit much IMO. Going to check on family is one thing, though I would probably have waited to see them in the ED or later rather than parading around on scene. All the comments (paraphrasing since I don't have the article up now) about "doing what all first responders would do" or "springing into action" should have been minimized, as her role as a paramedic was absolutely meaningless to the situation. I know she did the whole "I'm not a hero" "schtick", but it just struck a nerve wrong with me. Extra bystanders on scenes, particularly MVAs, are just unhelpful.Not sure if anyone read the article or commented on the headlines???
Her father and her grandparents were in the wreck and it occurred AFTER the actual "I Do's"...
I would probably have gone anyways as familial support. It is obvious she did not need to be there in an emergency capacity judging by the apparatus on scene, but this occurred between the ceremony and the reception...a change of clothes was in order already. I would have "shown up" and checked on them as well.
Her husband also went with her as he is a paramedic too, including most of the wedding party.
The incident and injuries were minor. On duty is on duty, off duty is off duty. Checking on family is one thing, but parading around an emergency scene off duty, in a wedding dress no less, with all your friends because you all work for that EMS agency is a little uncalled for.
So her dad and grandparents get into a car wreck right outside the wedding so she goes to check if they're ok....she just so happens to be a paramedic, but it's not like she hopped on the ambulance to get dispatched to a call on the other side of town....
I don't think there's a word in the English language that is more overused than "hero".
I'd venture out and say "like" like literally wins"Literally" probably wins that contest.

I hate that I literally had to hit the like buttonThe hero like literally left the wedding to go and save her family members in dire need of medical attention.

"She's giving me that look, like 'Really? You're going to take my picture now?' " said Ray's mother, Marcy Martin. "It was just about the contrast — the beauty of her and then the chaos in the background."
