Out of thousands of EMS scenes that I've photographed for news, magazines and book publications, I have yet to see a medic flee from my lens. It's best to stay focused on patient care and not be concerned if you will wind up in the news.

11/6/09... the first time I ever saw myself on TV. (pics attached)
The only reason I actually got to watch the video unfold as it was aired - I injured myself on that call. While moving our pt to the hospital stretcher, I was the short girl at the tall end of the stretcher... grade II a/c shoulder separation. 6 weeks of absolute boredom (except for when I was in PT)
The first time I was on TV I was working nights. It was for a vehicle vs building. I was using the LT's Maglite to look into the building for a victim, for which there was none. I didn't know that there was a freelance camera man on scene until the next morning. I was turning in my radios and stuff and one of our "old timers" looks at me, says "turn around". I turn around and she says "Yup, that was your a$$ I saw on TV this morning". I will never forget that for as long as I live.
(edited cuz I can't spell after the Restoril is flowing through the veins)

Grr... I've been in a few pictures that my school's been using to publicize our new building.

Picture 1 and 25 and picture 1 is everywhere on the website.
Here's a picture that's been making the rounds in the papers. Second row from the back on the left...

Here, if you're lucky (or unlucky) enough to appear on the TV, it means you buy ice cream for the crew.
...and it better be the good stuff.
Amen brother......amen. Preach it!
Those of us from the Northwest know what good ice cream is. Do I hear and amen from the northwesterners?

Yea, have not made the news for anything EMS related yet. Last time I was though, someone got a lovely shot of me yelling my head off right after my football team won the state championship. Absolutly lovely picture. Makes me run now every time a reporter or cameraman is anywhere near. With luck, I can avoid the press while on scene. (Or did I just jinx myself?)
