private service in 1993 I returned to Bullitt County full-time and have remained ever since I have seen a lot of people and changes come and go over the years and have witnessed just about every tragedy you can imagine I knew this is what I wanted to do as early as the age of 13. I like lots of young teenagers would watch the show emergency Faithfully I have never once regretted my career choice the best advice I can give anyone in the EMS Field is to never stop learning go above and beyond because you have one of the most important jobs in the medical field we see people at their worst never lose compassion I have laughed with patients cried with patients held their hand when they were terrified and prayed with them your face is sometimes the first face they see and they will always remember how you treated them always always follow your gut as it will never steer you wrong I'm certainly going to miss my job and the many friends I have made along the way always do your best and remember that is all that it is all that is ever expected of you thank you Janice Chris Gus thank you Carla for um your wisdom your your help through the last three years unfortunately I didn't know you before three years ago but it's been an honor

to know you for the last three years when I first moved to Kentucky and was brand new to this service as well as being new to the state and was you you were an absolute godsend she had answers to every question to every issue every had solutions to everything I could have ever come up with and you made it and fabulously easy transition into Kentucky and into Bullitt County thank you and Carla I can't say enough about you and how you've helped guided through EMS in the last four and a half years from where we were at to where we're at today and uh you'll always be remembered and if you want to come back and do a little bit of part-time stuff just give us a call okay but Carla thank you for your 32 30 years of service thank you so much [Applause] you want to say something
