What The Uniform Took From Me

carriecuthbertart

For 18 years, I wore a uniform that gave me purpose, belonging, and an identity.

I loved that uniform as a paramedic.

But somewhere along the way, I began to wonder what it had cost me.

It gave me confidence.
It gave me a place to belong.
But it also allowed people to see me without really seeing me.

Now, at 60, I’m discovering who I am without it.

My personal essay, What the Uniform Took From Me, explores identity, vulnerability, and what happens when we step away from the roles that once defined us.

I share my paramedic memoirs on Medium too.

Here’s my background info from a recent interview conducted by Dr. Mehmet Yildiz.
