CBS New York June 22, 2021 At the height of the pandemic last year, paramedics in New York City responded to more than 7,000 calls a day. The amount of trauma they witnessed was a heavy burden many are still carrying. As Mola Lenghi reports, the calls kept coming, and EMTs like Deputy Chief A.J. Briones of Empress Ambulance Services kept answering. On the front lines of the COVID pandemic, what those EMTs saw is tough to shake.
