It looks like I touched a very obvious nerve with my last post on frequent fliers: Someone Failed… Is it the System? – Everyday EMS Ethics – Every EMS person, and almost every healthcare provider is faced with the problem of the frequent flier… someone who, for whatever reason, consumes more time, energy, and resources […]
A tempestuous night is blowing outside the station walls. The cold night air is stirred wildly, blowing splatterings of rain against the glass window of my bedroom. The wind howls through the trees conjuring up fantastic images of the disturbed environs of the world outside my bunk room. Having gone to bed early, I cannot […]
Ok, so the first post was pretty reactionary. I’m right about the medical aspect of the show though. I don’t know who your paramedic technical consultant is… but me thinks if he was really good at what he did there would be NO WAY that you would make such eggregious mistakes ON THE PREMIER EPISODE!

Or a psyche […]

She wrote this post for this month’s Handover. You can find her blog HERE ———————————————————————– […]
Remember those commercials for the cable TV station TBS that ran here in the US where they had the “Comedy Lab” testing stuff to see if it is funny? Well, this month’s Handover Blog Carnival is WAY better than that. Remember back when Family Guy, The Simpsons, and South Park were in their earliest seasons […]
