Stearn replied to her 
daughter, “Don’t let one 
person who has mental 
health [issues] change the 
trajectory of what you 
want to do. Don’t make 
any decisions.”
Ironically, while in 
South Africa, one of the 
first photos the Stearn 
family took was of Paige 
in front of a South 
African ambulance. After 
disembarking from the 
plane, she turned around 
and told her parents, “‘I 
think I do want to do 
emergency medicine.’”
Terri Stearn said she 
believes the event was tied 
to fate, and it happened 
so her daughter could 
rediscover her strength 
as a one-day doctor, 
following the horrific 
shooting at MSU.
“She kept her calm,” 
says Terri Stearn, who 
works as an art appraiser 
with Detroit Fine Art 
Appraisals. “[As an EMT], 
she’s dealt with really 
crazy emergencies.”
Still, it wasn’t the first 
(or even second) time 
Paige Stearn exhibited 
great courage. The young 
medical student previously 
traveled to Panama to help 
children with vaccines and 
to Budapest for six weeks 
of training in a hospital 
to learn about labor and 
delivery.
“Paige Stearn, whoever 
gets to be your patient one 
day will be super lucky,” 
Terri Stearn wrote in a 
Facebook post. “To say 
we’re proud of her would 
be an understatement.”
