DO YOU KNOW THE TIME?By: Steve Cochran Do you know how long a second is? Ask the call-taker who is on the phone with the parent of an asthmatic child while the ambulance fights its way through uncaring traffic. Do you know how long a minute is?As the paramedic who is counting the respirations of an old man who is in the end stages of lung cancer; Do you know how long an hour is?Ask the nurse waiting in the trauma bay while the rescue squad works feverishly to free a young man from the tangled wreckage of his car; Do you know how long a day is?Ask the EMT who has just finished a 24 hours shift in the inner city; Do you know how long a month is?Ask the paramedic who is trying to warm the premature baby she has just delivered; Do you know how long a year is?Ask the fire fighter on light duty, answering the phones at headquarters, while he waits to heal from the surgery he had to correct the wear and tear on his knee or shoulder or back; Do you know long a lifetime is?Ask the EMT who is performing CPR on an infant; Do you know how long an eternity is?Ask the person standing at attention, listening to Amazing Grace on the bagpipes as six people in blue carefully fold the flag. |
