EMS Today 2016 Review
It was my privilege to have been selected as the Official Blogger of the EMS Today conference for 2016. Like my predecessor, Tom Bouthillet at the EMS 12-Lead blog, I took that role very seriously and visited as many of the sessions, vendor exhibits, and even socials (they are definitely part of the experience) as I possibly […]

What Starman is Saying About the Future of EMS
You are correct. We are missing the overarching vision. When we developed ASAs, EMS ordinances, and model systems, we were just trying to stabilize and codify sirens that worked. We succeeded. However, we never moved past that. It's sad.

OUTSTANDING Sir! I was a truck driver, or in more technical terms a Driver/Operator of a combination vehicle. I became an EMT at 42 years old. The term "Ambulance Driver" doesn't bother me, but what does is being called a "Taxi Driver" by my patients. I let it go, but it's not what I do....EVER.…
