Pediatric Cardiac Complacency – A Case Study for EMS
It’s interesting how personal experiences and professional biases can affect a clinician’s personal style of providing patient care. I’d wager that it happens to us all in some subtle and some not-so-subtle ways. One of the things I’ve noticed about my own style of personal practice is that I’m very sensitive to screening for and […]
An EMS Rant: Don’t Believe this Picture
So I saw this picture on Facebook today (Warning: There are some mild swear words in this picture you’re already seeing so I’m warning you that this warning is moot) Don’t believe this picture. I’ve read somewhere that people will believe anything they read from a picture with words on it they see on the […]
The Natural Alignment Movement – Freedom of Choice from the Orthopedic Conspiracy
When Paramedic Christopher Downdike responded to a seemingly routine ambulance call the other afternoon, he never expected he would be coming face to face with a national movement made up of people who say they’re fighting for the health of their children and for their rights as parents to choose the medical care they feel […]
The “Pre-Clear” & Other Tricks to Reduce the Perishock Pause
Push Hard. Push Fast. Don’t Stop. By now, every single healthcare person out there should know that in order to improve a victim of cardiac arrest’s chances of meaningful survival, chest compressions are where it’s at. Blood needs to keep circulating in order to keep a person’s heart and brain alive and functioning. High quality […]

Stop Feeding the EMS Tee Trolls
I'm thoroughly creeped out. IfI saw someone wearing one of those, I'd find out who they are and make a phone call. That is so far off from professional. What you do off the clock affects perception of you as an individual and the profession as a whole.

Want More of Me?
I have much respect on Paramedic personnel which leads me into visiting this blog. But after reading your introduction, and as a Nurse with advance degree in Anesthesia, I completely understand why Nurses and allied health professionals don't give high regards of respect on Paramedics as an auxiliary professionals. With your grandiouse delusions stating that…

Welcome to Hell Feet 2: Magnum Boots Review
Having purchased three or four pairs of Magnum boots I can simply say they are garbage. Are they comfortable? Yes they are comfortable, but that is it. As for durability and longevity they are garbage, as the soles come apart, the lace eyelets come out, and that zipper functions only a couple months before it…

Expanding Our Career Options – Non-Traditional EMS Jobs
I both agree and disagree with your comment- I agree that core competencies are paramount but the way to practice, improve, and perfect those skills is by using them as much as you can and I think that's what the author was implying. There are a multitude of ways to practice and use your skills…

A Slap in the Face to Paramedics Everywhere?
In fairness to Illinois, they are just now getting on board with critical care paramedics, and it's not universally accepted. Only a few years ago, they needed a nurse to take a saline IV interfacility, at least in northern Illinios.
