When did you realize you could “handle” the job in terms of not being phased by gnarly calls?

Post Body

I’m about 6 months into my first 911 job, and have gotten to see some pretty cool stuff. Codes, MVCs, bad strokes, etc. but a couple days ago I helped on a pediatric MCI. Family of 7 with 5 kids (2 unrestrained) in a minivan get T-boned by a drunk driver. 3 kids were critical, 2 were intubated at the hospital, and 1 almost went into cardiac arrest.

This was my first time seeing stuff that heavy, but it didn’t bother me. I feel like that was sort of the sign that I’m capable of handling that kind of thing. Is that the way it works where there’s a single call (or a couple of them) and you just know? Or am I misreading it?
