Comments on: LOVE AND MARRIAGE http://gomerville.com/2009/12/05/love-and-marriage/ I am a paramedic who works for an organ procurement organization in the wilds of Kentucky. I am also a husband and a father. Occasionally I fancy myself to be a writer, hence the blog. You are welcome to witness this train wreck but the experience can be disorienting. Don't go swimming for at least thirty minutes.

It is also a credit to human spirit and the will to survive. It's unfortunate that your experience with the trooper is somewhat common place. I personally have not had an encounter such as yours with any of the law agencies in my area, although I know other who have. This issue of insensitivity and in some case almost "Anti-professionalism" is not a cop thing. It has infected many in Fire, EMS and in hospital staff as well. I don't think that this behavior is always intentional. In some case that may be the only way they know how to act. Their parents treat them like that, their teachers act like that, that's how the communicate with peers, its just what they know. TV and movies have trained us simple humans well ;) I suppose the moral of the story is don’t drink and drive, in simple terms at least. It is also a credit to human spirit and the will to survive.
