#station 129

The best take I’ve ever heard about Emergency and how paramedics relate to it was “Every day you go to work wanting to be Johnny Gage. If you stay long enough, you’ll wake up one day and BE Roy DeSoto.”

The thing that I just *really loved* about this man’s performance and what it did for the profession was that even though he portrayed a goofball, he was always a professional - and from the time I became a paramedic until now, I’ve tried to emulate that.
