Ryan stared at the boy and looked back at the Chariman, "Why is he at our annual appreciation dinner anyway?"
The Chairman look towards to boy and said, "His friends want him here and he did helped out with the wounded right?"
Ryan, "Just because of that?"
The Chairman stare at him, "You didn't do much either right?"
Ryan shouted towards the boy, "Tell me why I should even appreciate you huh?!?"
The boy looks toward Ryan, "If you don't appreciate me then forget it! I don't need to be here then!"
Ryan, "Good! Then get lost!"
The boys friends tried to calm the situation down and just then a car crashes into the restaurant. A young girl lay down on the floor with blood all over her body.
The boy rushed towards the girl and moved her deeper into the restaurant and told people to move away from the girl as move and move by standers gathered around the area.
A few other people help the driver out of the car and the another man into the restaurant, he was in shock and the driver has faint.
Leaving the girl aside the boy checked on the driver and the another wounded man to make sure they were alright and returned to attend to the girl.
Using proper equipments, the boy removed the broken glasses and dirt from the girls wounded and stop all the bleeding which would be fatal.
Soon later the ambulance arrived, as the nurses came down to check on the victims. The driver and the other man was alright and the girl was moved to the hospital immediately. The ambulance leave and two nurses stay back to attend to the other man and the driver. Soon, both of them regained their senses. While the police was recording the statement from the driver, one of the nurse came into the damaged restaurant and told the man something.
Then the man turned around and throw himself onto the boy as all his friends and by stander look on.
"Erm, Sir! Did you noticed that my whole hands are filled with blood!"
"My only child's blood!" He hugged to boy and cried.
The nurse look at the boy and said, "The girl reached the hospital with only slightly more than 10 pints of blood. The doctor recovered her blood volume and pressure, she's safe now and that also means you saved her life. Good job SON!"
The boy look towards the man and then his friends and some of them smiled at him and he finally understood what it really meant when his officer told him this...
Lee Stanfield:-
"Son, it is not appreciation that the Medic seeks, but it is the joy and the feeling of success after you saved a live that brings the happiness to you. So tell me son, why do you need people to show their appreciation to you? Why to you need money or rewards when what you can do and have done is your biggest reward? This is what you have done SON, appreciate yourself for being a Medic, appreciate yourself for saving lives!"
I must always remember this, and people around me should know this because not everyone have the chance to safe someone from the edge of the cliff. Only Medics do... no one else...
