Mark V. Smith

On August 1, 2011, my 14-year-old daughter and I were involved in a motorcycle accident on hwy 69 just south of cameron when a young girl ran a stop sign right in front of us. Mark Hill was on the ambulance crew that responded. After assessing the scene, Mark said that I needed emergency orthopedic surgery and would go to Liberty Hospital, but my daughter would only need a lot of stitches and could go to Cameron Hospital. I pleaded with him to keep us together. He said, "Let me see what I can do." And returned a few minutes later putting my daughter in the ambulance beside me. After comforting and assuring us on the ride to Liberty, he called my wife to let her know where we were going. At the ER, he went to the waiting room to find my wife, advise her of our conditions and led her to where we were. After I could walk again, I stopped by the ambulance barn to thank Mark for all he did for us that day. Of course, he was very gracious, saying it was all part of the job. I only had the pleasure of meeting Mark on two occasions, but I think I know what kind of guy he was, and that EMT was much more than just a job. Mark V. Smith, Kearney, MO
