The Oklahoma City bombing was a made-for-TV catastrophe. The images thrust on the EMS community after the devastation of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building last April are imprinted on our minds with awful clarity. And to see images of other disasters often causes memories of other awful scenes to arise unbidden: Sioux City's airline disaster, the New York City World Trade Center bombing, hurricanes, earthquakes and other devastation. Each takes its toll on emergency care providers.
俄克拉何马城爆炸案是一场专为电视制作的灾难。去年4月阿尔弗雷德·P·默拉联邦大楼遭受破坏后呈现在紧急医疗服务社区面前的那些画面,以一种可怕的清晰程度印刻在我们的脑海中。而看到其他灾难的画面往往会不由自主地唤起对其他可怕场景的记忆:苏城的空难、纽约世界贸易中心爆炸案、飓风、地震以及其他灾难。每一场灾难都给急救人员带来了损失。
