Shandaken Ambulance driver responds accident involving his own family

5 posts in this topic

Professionalism when it counted the most!

On Sunday afternoon, Jesse Cowan was on duty as the driver of the ambulance for the Shandaken Ambulance Service. When a call came in about an accident on Route 28 at an intersection near the Emerson Resort, Cowan felt a twinge of anxiety. The accident was a head-on collision -- and Cowan's wife and four children were supposed to be driving on Route 28 that very afternoon.

"I looked at my EMT sitting next to me and said to him, 'Oh my god, my wife and kids were on their way home from Kingston," Cowan told the Watershed Post. "I was just like, 'Wow, I hope not.'"

I heard this call as I was leaving for the academy last Sunday. Shortly after the initial dispatch our ambulance got put on standby which made me worry a little. Thankfully the injuries weren't all serious but it doesn't surprise me that the Shandaken crew acted professionally even in the worst of situations.
