Recently we received a call from a patient we had recently treated. He had suffered major trauma to his hand and our crew's rapid response and quick actions saved his hand and likely his life. Although he jokingly said they applied the tourniquet too tight, he wanted to present the crew with a plaque of appreciation. We love what we do and always enjoy hearing from those we serve.
