Happy Summertime. Whew, it's warm out here in the desert. Hope you're doing fine wherever you are reading this and staying healthy.
So I have a part time job as an EMT for an ambulance company. I do the driving and help provide patient care as well. I love the work, the people I work with and patients too.
Recently I had an experience that inspired me to do some Ambulance based artwork. Our ambulance met and picked up a patient and aircrew at a local airport. The patient was airlifted into our area and going to a hospital about 25 miles away from the airport.
The patient was in rough shape for sure, (technical term). When we got in the ambo the flight nurse declared - "get us to the hospital as fast as possible, Code 3." Code 3 is driving quickly, (and safely) to your destination, driving with lights and sirens on. The destination hospital was also on the other side of a retirement community called Sun City.
Needless to say, the drive was an adventure. Traffic was pretty heavy and other drivers weren't pulling over like they're supposed to. They were doing some goofy things on the road that day. It was like an EMT obstacle course.
After a pretty exciting ride, we made it to the hospital and safely delivered the patient. It all worked out, and I was inspired to commemorate the event for me and those who experience similar adventures now and then. I have them available on my on-line store that prints tshirts, mugs, etc. I supply the artwork and they take care of printing and delivery.
I did a design for Mesa, AZ as well, where we have a lot of folks working too. It's all in fun. If you're interested you can view and order products at - https://www.zazzle.com/store/ems_designs_by_tom
I'll be doing some other EMS based designs as well...look for those to come out in the near future.
Take care of yourself and be good to others.
Peace,
Tom
