On Friday, August 7, 2009, I tried to take my life. I don't know the names of the EMS paramedics, but I want to tell them, "Thank you for saving my life."

The family of E.R. would like to express our sincere gratitude for responding so quickly (July 9) and working so diligently on E. We understand the heartache you must have felt as time went by without even a flicker of hope. E. set goals for himself at the beginning of last school year. Looking over the list he made, he pretty much accomplished all that he set out to do. Now he, as a Christian, has met the one final goal in life, to be in Heaven with Jesus Christ, our Savior. We still miss him so very much, but can rejoice with him that his is in a better place and wait until the day we see him again. We enclose a copy of E.'s obituary to share with you since you never had the opportunity to know how special he was. Thanks again for choosing such a life saving occupation, knowing also that there may not always be a happy ending here on earth.
You truly are heroes.
Gods Blessings,
J. and K. R. - Wichita, KS

On Thursday, June 25, my husband (RC) realized I was in dire need of medical attention and called 911. Chad Maugans and Janell Stevens were the paramedics responding to the call. Apparently, I was only semi-conscious and delirious. I can only imagine the effort they put forth to get me on the gurney and into the ambulance. My husband said they were very professional, caring and quick. Within a couple minutes of their arrival, I was on my way to St. Francis. This was a first time experience for us.
Please convey to Chad Maugans and Janell Stevens our utmost gratitude and appreciation. We are very grateful for all they did.
Sincerely,
D.G.

...I was in Wichita last week and suffered from a severe virus and dehydration. We were staying at the Hyatt and we called EMS. Lt. Jacqueline Cook and Tech Sara Gillespie came to our room and did an outstanding job. They acted in such a professional manner and still maintained an attitude of caring about their patients. We were blown away with there service and how they responded to our every need. They made an uncomfortable situation much more bearable...
