Rescue the Rescue

Yesterday at our performance we ran into a drummer we know who used to be an ambulance driver but has since retired at 61. I asked him how he dealt with the day to day horrors of his job. "I played music, and I still play. At the blues jams nobody gets hurt and nobody dies. Not everyone is so lucky to discover this outlet, and some of my colleagues have taken their own lives after suffering from PTSD. Back then we didn't know about that and the guys kept it all inside."
