One of the speakers at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday was a paramedic who had cared for Trump after he was shot in an assassination attempt on July 13.
Sally Sheri, a paramedic who cared for Trump when he was rushed to the Butler Memorial Hospital after a gunman’s bullet grazed his ear, said she got to see a side of Trump that the media never shows.
She said since she was young, she knew being an EMT and a paramedic was her calling, and for most of her adult life she cared for others working in the back of an ambulance. After many years, she transitioned to emergency room work.
Sheri was working on the evening of July 13 when Trump was shot at the rally he was holding in her town.
“That evening I witnessed a man with a deeply-rooted bond with his family. I heard him speak with his wife, his children, and his grandchildren. He let them know that he was safe and that he was being taken care of,” she said.
“The man we all see on TV with the strong personality who sometimes doesn’t mince words, or who is seen as a wealthy, powerful business man was not the man that I stood beside that evening. What I saw was a man that, in the aftermath of one of the most terrifying experiences of his life showed resiliency. He showed strength and courage. He showed that his family was at the forefront. He was a husband, a father and a grandfather. He was compassionate and grateful. He was kind and humble,” Sheri recalled.
“Several times I stood and stared at him with tears rolling down my cheeks. He was someone’s dad. He’s a human just like you and me. I held the hand of that man who sends out the “mean tweets” and I thanked him for loving our country and fighting for our freedoms,” she said.
