I have been at a coal mine 7 stories up, with a patient down a 20 foot hole about 8 feet in diameter, only accessible by a ladder that goes straight down. The floor was grated so I could see his blood all the way on the ground beneath us. I don't have a fear of heights, but that day I was a little nervous. Fire department was busy setting up an LZ for my patient so they weren't able to help with extrication or patient care.

Just showing that you don't ever know what you may encounter. If that bothers you, you should seriously reconsider your job choice.
