Hello everyone. I seem to have stuck my foot in it. There is no getting around it. I was wrong. Let me explain. The volunteer service in Kentucky in both the fire and EMS sectors varies greatly in quality from region to region. This is a nice way of saying that some of the volunteers [...]
Yesterday I wrote a post about the first dead person I ever saw while working in EMS. During the course of that story I talked about my old training officer named ‘Danno.’ He was an interesting character. At the time that he trained me, he had been in EMS for almost 20 years. That would [...]
I want to tell you a story about something that happened in the past year. I think that enough time has gone by that I can talk freely about it as long as I leave the names out. This story really drives home the EMS Bubble concept that I have been talking about recently. My [...]
I have seen a couple of things in the news lately that have just made me want to flee from this country.

Quite a few people have asked me to talk about my new job on my blog. I have not done this yet for two reasons. First, the nature of what I do is extremely sensitive. The nature of EMS can be sensitive as well, but everything I do at my other job begins with someone [...]
I heard a formal announcement that included my name and the large wooden doors swung open. A judge, several court employees, some attorneys, a full jury, and about a dozen onlookers were all watching my entrance very carefully. At this point in my life I had quite a lot of experience with public speaking through [...]
I have gotten a couple of concerned messages from colleagues over my EMS Bubble post. They seem to be upset at my logic. And to be honest, it was just a blog post. It wasn’t a paper or a study. So it wasn’t very polished. But I would like to clarify a few things. I [...]
