What surprised me the most this week at school was how the students reacted to the incorporation of our EMS room  and a Atlanta Firefighter into my lesson.  My introduction to Healthcare Science class has been studying safety.  On Friday, I decided to have our class in the EMS room.  Our EMS room has a ambulance inside of the classroom.  My set induction consisted upon a lieutenant from the Atlanta Fire Department walking into our classroom with all of his gear on.  He walks into our class smelling like smoke,coughing heavily holding his hand that was wrapped up in a soiled towel. After taking about five steps, he drops to the floor.  He tripped on a hanging chord.  The students were stunned and really didn't know what was going on.  After being on the floor for about a minute, he stands up and introduces himself.  His lesson on safety really reinforced what I had taught the students.  I was surprised because the students were really excited to see the ambulance inside of the classroom.  They were so engaged in the safety lesson that they did not want to leave the room.  Next year, I will continue to utilize the EMS classroom.
