Medical Professionals are not the only ones who can save lives.
There, I said it, it's out there, and it's true. You may not believe it, and you may reason with yourself that it is not true because average everyday people do not have the capabilities of a well educated and trained doctor, nurse, EMT, etc. In a sense that is completely true. The average person probably does not know how to prescribe medication, put in an IV, perform surgery or restart a heart.
Some people may know how to physically restart a heart, and some people may know how to restart a heart as well, but not in the traditionally medical sense that everyone thinks of.
Somewhere out there, there may be a teacher who taught a student that their life is more than what they were born into, and inspires them to achieve a better life through their education.
Somewhere out there, there are lawmakers trying to pass bills that will help people get the medical coverage they need so they can get actually see a medical professional and beat their ailments.
Somewhere out there, there is a journalist who brought a human rights crisis in another country to attention, and now people are finally starting to realize the desperate change that is needed there.
Somewhere out there, there is a social worker who is doing everything in their power to prevent another child from just being another 'lost in the system.'
Somewhere out there, there is a lawyer fighting for someone who was wrongly sentenced to life in prison.
Somewhere out there, there is a minister inspiring people that they are not alone, and they are safe in the hands of God.
Somewhere out there, there is a grief counselor who is helping someone cope with the loss of a loved one.
Out in the world, people are being saved every day, and in many different ways.
It is one thing to restart a heart, but to keep that heart going is another.
