About Me

I work somewhere in the continental United States as a Paramedic. I've been a medic for 4+ years and have been in the public safety field for almost 7.

I love my job, I can't imagine doing anything else.

My blogs are my own thoughts and feelings. They in no way reflect the opinion of my employer (past or present) or any organization or medical facility that I happen to be affiliated with.

Because the government believes that medical personnel doesn't do enough to protect the privacy of patients and has created the nightmare that I will call HIPPA, I disclose the following information:

Events portrayed as recent are not. The other day is a broad term meaning anytime within the author’s life. Also, "the other day" may refer to "last week", "a year ago", "just now", "earlier today", "last month", etc...You get the idea.

All case reports presented on these pages are composites of multiple patients with all identifying information changed to make the stories better…I mean for the sake of confidentiality.

Medical advice should only be obtained from your personal physician, not from an anonymous EMS blog.
