On the Other Side of Hardship
Episode #12- EMS Legend, Chuck Drollette
I had a great conversation with Wayne County EMS legend, Chuck Drollette. Fueled by the desire to learn and help those in his community, this once hay farmer learned the skills of a Paramedic and ultimately gained his position on the National Registry.
Get a unique look at the mental traumas that accompany the physical traumas in the fire/EMS/law enforcement community. “What ifs” are a reality in this realm.
Chuck’s defining moments inspired deep introspection and significant lifestyle changes and allowed him to save lives and positively impact the lives of thousands of people. He has found the other side of hardship, but as you will learn, it is NOT just a one-time ride.
