As Murphy\u2019s Law would have it, the one time we said this winter \u201cwhat the heck let the sun melt the snow\u201d, little did we know we\u2019d need a 4WD ambulance rescue!\u00a0 Your team performed admirably under tough conditions during the rescue. Many thanks go especially to Melissa for remembering to grab the \u201cgo\u201d bag as we passed by the stuck ambulance. Holding may hand thru the terrible, excruciating pain at first kept me from passing out and of course your defibrillation brought me back to life on the way to Hartford Hospital\u2026.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another defibrillation on the table and two stents later, I\u2019m now resting at home for a few weeks hoping to get back to teaching my students. Once again thanks to the AFD, Melissa and the dispatchers for all you did on the morning of April Xth and continue to do each day for all of us. Hope to see everyone at your annual steak dinner again, however maybe this time it will be a veggie platter for me\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">-Patient<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">(#16-25277)<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an email from April 2016, regarding a response from ASM&#8217;s Melissa Osborne, her partner Matt Kleza, and Andover Fire Department: Dear Melissa, Ben, John and John, Words cannot explain the gratitude my wife and I have for everyone for &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/words-cannot-explain-the-gratitude\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1,53,5,41,6,197],"tags":[357,764,239,408],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7254"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7254"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7254\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7258,"href":"https:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7254\/revisions\/7258"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7254"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7254"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
