ASHES TO ASHES
06.05.10 | Permalink | 3 CommentsIt wasn’t until I was well past thirty years old that I experienced my first funeral. My wife’s great-aunt Charlotte had died and we were getting dressed to attend the viewing. “So, what is a viewing anyway? I mean, I have seen these things on TV, but I am still in the dark as to [...]

THE EMS BUBBLE
06.01.10 | Permalink | 6 CommentsThis is an essay which I have wanted to write for quite sometime. Many people in EMS who read this will be shocked at what I have to say.

NO SHIRT, NO SHOES…
05.20.10 | Permalink | 5 CommentsCan anyone tell me why so many male patients go around in their house shirtless? I should probably add that these are not good looking people. I don’t go around my house without a shirt on. And for those in between times (read: when I am taking one shirt off and putting the other one [...]

I am a paramedic who works for an organ procurement organization in the wilds of Kentucky. I am also a husband and a father. Occasionally I fancy myself to be a writer, hence the blog. You are welcome to witness this train wreck but the experience can be disorienting. Don't go swimming for at least thirty minutes.- Yes, I am actually blogging again: http://t.co/bMMpquhT

- Just paid a 3 dollar 'convenience fee' at an ATM. This was not convenient. Can someone explain why talking to flesh and blood costs nothing?
