Just what the EMT Ordered

Favorite Flavor: Peppermint Mocha

What's your favorite food? Watermelon!

If you could travel back in time, what era would you live in? The Old West.

How do you have fun? Watching my son play baseball.

I am a member of the Coffee-mate sponsored Brew Crew

I work as an Emergency Medical Technician, and since emergencies don’t happen on a set schedule, I sometimes have a lot of stand-by time on my hands. My daily routine includes the night shift. Yes, while most everyone else is tucked away sleeping I’m out there at work, and when they’re just getting up, reaching for that first cup of coffee, I’m heading home to catch some Z’s. So you could say I have kind of a reverse lifestyle.

I like it, but usually around 3 A.M., especially during the cold, winter months, my co-workers and I need a little something to keep us warm, to keep the chill out—and keep our eyes open. So coffee is what this EMT prescribed! This past winter we kept a Thermos of piping hot coffee stirred up with Peppermint Mocha COFFEE-MATE ready to go with us every time the phone rang and we headed out into the cold dark night.

These long, abnormal hours of the night shift can be isolating, but we keep our spirits high by indulging in cups of coffee flavored with COFFEE-MATE. I love the Peppermint Mocha flavor, especially, because it sparks great memories of my family and Christmas.

In our line of work, mere seconds can mean the difference between life and death. My team and I depend on each other totally to care for the patients we see. It’s during those stressful times that our teamwork, our bond is crucial. Sharing stories and memories over a cup of coffee in our downtime helps us grow closer so that when we’re called out on an emergency we respond to the situation and each other automatically. We’re in perfect synch. We’re a real team.

We’re thankful to have COFFEE-MATE around to help us keep the chill off, keep great memories flowing, and keep our bond tight.
