Bioterrorism: Effects Upon Emergency Medical Service Personnel

Abstract: 6 pages in length. The Emergency Medical Service (EMS), which is comprised of Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), firefighters and other rescue personnel, devote their lives to helping others in times of crises. Theirs is a dedication that goes above and beyond the human call of duty, however, they do not think twice about the potential sacrifices to their own lives. Still, even the most physically and emotionally steadfast EMS workers are prone to succumb to the images of death and destruction they see over and over again; the recently resurrected issue of bioterrorism reflects one of these times. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
