What began as a routine patient call in 2023 reshaped Ohio paramedic Jesse Sopko’s perspective on life and duty. Despite enduring severe injuries—including multiple fractures, brain bleeds, and a traumatic brain injury—Sopko’s spirit has remained unbroken.
Sopko’s journey of recovery, marked by weeks in the ICU and extensive rehabilitation, is a testament to human resilience and the relentless will to survive. Reflecting on his experience, he advises, “Don’t ever take a day for granted. Always kiss your loved ones goodbye.”
This candid conversation between Sopko and host Mike McCabe offers an inspiring look at recovery and a heartfelt reminder for EMS professionals to cherish every moment.
