Posted in Engagements on Sunday, December 18, 2011 The family that saves together Mother, son team up with fellow EMT to win 1st place in challenge BRISTOW MARCHANT / THE SUMTER ITEM Pattie Sinner and her son Ethan Osteen teamed up to compete in the Paramedic Savers skills competition in May against other emergency medical technicians. Along with fellow Sumter County EMT Jason Lynch, mother and son came in first in the competition against five teams from neighboring emergency medical services. " ... This was my last chance to compete in this with my mama," Osteen said. BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com (803) 774-1272 Ethan Osteen knew he was entering a high-pressure situation. An emergency medical technician with Sumter Emergency Medical Services, he was on the scene of a car crash filled with medical emergencies, and now he faced a man threatening first responders with a gun. He wanted his mother by his side. Fortunately, during this simulated scenario testing the EMTs' skill, mom was right on the other side of the stretcher. Pattie Sinner is a veteran EMT with Sumter County EMS who teamed up with her son and their fellow medic Jason Lynch to win the Paramedic Savers competition between local EMTs in Lee County last month. Even though the two have been together at EMS for almost four years, rules governing close relatives ensured they never served on the same ambulance team or even the same shift. With Osteen knowing he was up for his paramedic certification in June, the May 31 skills competition for basic and intermediate EMTs would be the only time mother and son could work together. "I knew I was close to becoming a paramedic, so this was my last chance to compete in this with my mama," Osteen said. When her son was younger, Sinner worked in cafeterias for Sumter School District 2 but then went home and watched "Rescue 911." "This was my dream job," she said. She studied to become a trained EMT, worked for four years with the private Carolina MedCare ambulance service, then joined EMS because, Sinner said, "911 is more exciting." "I studied at home a lot," she remembered, "and he had to be my patient sometimes, so he became involved right off the bat." Osteen learned enough from watching his mother that once he finished high school, he decided to join EMS himself. "She'd come home and tell me about a call she'd been on and was kind of rough, but I thought it sounded like fun," he said. "You know you're not going to have the same routine every day. It's not the same old boring job you'd have in a factory." Last month's competition was the first chance the two got to do that job side by side. Sinner entered a couple EMT skills competitions on her own, testing her knowledge and emergency reflexes alongside other co-workers, but taking on five neighboring EMT crews in Paramedic Savers (the inside term for basic to intermediate EMTs) was the only time she signed up to compete on the same team as her son. "We talked a lot to make sure we would go about it the same way," Sinner said. "We talked for a few hours the night before about what they might throw at us." When the Sumter team was "called" to the simulated scene inside a Lee County fire bay, they found a Jeep jammed between two trees pinning the doors closed. Once the paramedics got their two patients out of the vehicle, they realized both men had gunshot wounds. That's when the other shoe dropped; another man approached the crash scene waving a gun. "The other guys apparently froze up," Osteen said. "But Jason called out 'scene unsafe.' Our job then as EMTs is to get out of the scene." When the "law enforcement officers" at the crash Tased the gunman, the EMS crew returned only to learn the shooter had stopped breathing. "We realized we now had three patients," Osteen said, "and that's what won us the competition." The three technicians won a plaque for the department and some free swag from LifeNet, which sponsored the competition. It might trouble some mothers to think they led their sons into a career where people with firearms are considered an expected on-the-job hazard, but Sinner doesn't worry about it. "I knew he could do it," she said. "I know what I've been through, and I knew he could handle it too." Posted in Local news, News on Wednesday, June 25, 2014 [3, 4] | |
