Like Wonder with an S

I went on date with a girl studying to be a paramedic.

She told me of a lesson she’d learned recently.

Sometimes the patients we go to don’t need an ambulance. When I first started, I wondered why they called. I mean, we could’ve gone to a patient who really did need an ambulance.

But then my mentor told me, sometimes people call just so someone can hear their story. All they’re after is someone to listen and to show them they care, let them know someone is there for them.
