Vincent's Story
For the last 21 years I've been working for Community Medical Center. First at the Fresno campus, and for the past 3 years at Clovis Emergency. I stumbled into the job as my step father worked as an electrician there for many years. I think he was worried I would stay a record store clerk forever. After surviving a serious cardiac episode that was not drug related(good thing), I became a cardiac monitor technician. The work is work. It's not a real fun job, but I work with the best team of doctors and nurses that I know. Everyday is a little different as working in an ER can be. The best part of my job is the people that I work with. I met my wife and all my golfing buddies through the hospital. I guess I owe my life to Community Hospital. Not only to Dr. Lipnik, who saved my sorry butt when I was trying to exit this world. But to the dozens of...Expand for more
staff members who became friends, and some who became girlfriends, and the few that became family members. I've often been asked why I never left Community when so many others took better paying jobs elsewhere. The oppurtunity has always been present, but I still believe that I've been placed here for a reason that only the Almighty knows why. One of my close friends once told me that I lead a charmed life. Maybe I do. I've been blessed with a loving family, a beautiful wife, great friends, and always a good time. I've had a few near death experiences, but I've been lucky to come out of them in one piece. I've been blessed to have loved and lost, only to find it again. Maybe things would've been different in my life if the events in 1982, 1987, and 1990 had gone the other way. Maybe. But then what fun would life be if it was always predictable?
