Melinda's Story
After graduating high school in 1983 I attended Ball State University for 3 years. My major was elementary education. When that didn't work out I left and went to Indiana Business College and got an associates degree as an Executive Secretary. That led me to a job at Marion General Hospital in April of 1988. I hired into the admitting area which at that time was also where they dispatched ambulances from. I quickly became the full time 2nd shift ambulance dispatcher. That was when I got introduced to EMS. One of the paramedics there talked me into going to EMT class and they were starting one at Eastbrook High School at night. So I went and that is how I met Brad who...Expand for more
I married a year later. We were married for 11 years before he left for someone else and filed for divorce. We have been divorced for 6 years now. Anyway, after 4 years of dispatching I decided I wanted to use my degree so I transferred to the Educational Services department at MGH and worked there as a secretary for 4 years. While working in the Education dept. I had my son Brady in 1994. In 1996 I transferred to the MGH Ambulance Department to be their secretary and that also led to me being cross trained so I can also use my EMT skills when they need extra help. I have been at MGH for 20 years now and I still love going to work. I work with a great group of people.
