Hi EMS Community,

I wrote a book, Ghetto Medic, about my dad's experiences as an "ambulance man" in Baltimore from the 1960s to the 1990s. Bill was among the first of several thousand Americans who decided to become a paramedic when the "irresistible opportunity" arose.  His tales from the battlefield were my bedtime stories (when he wasn't cruising around in a broken down ambo with bloodstained curtains).  Ghetto Medic chronicles the history of the service in Baltimore and…

The city in which I work is poverty-stricken and segregated. I travel from my nice suburban home to the city, spend 24 hours responding to calls, then leave for the safety and green lawns of the outskirts.



Private EMS is a… Continue

My much belated New Year's resolution is to once again become an EMT. Back in my early twenties, I rode shotgun in Denver for 18 months before I had my first son. Family life took over and I decided to go work for my family. But, I'm getting a little older (heck, the last ambulance I was in looked like a hearse rather than these new warmachines with a laptop mount and GPS system) and after spending… Continue

What is a Paramedic?

Next To Creating A Life The Finest Thing A Man Can Do Is Save One — Abraham Lincoln.



A paramedic is the closest thing to a doctor the public will ever see outside the hospital. Let’s face it; doctors don’t do house calls anymore. Besides, they don’t teach doctors or nurses to deal with the chaos and limited resources of the streets. Being a paramedic is 25 % rescue work, 25% social worker, 25 % street smarts, 25% medicine, and 100% being quick and… Continue

So I'm roaming around the web, like always, and I decide hey lets go to Facebook. So I click over expecting the usual; gossip, whining, and general friend connecting. Amongst all of this clicking I saw an advertisement for this place called EMS Connect. I thought to myself "hmm...interesting" and clicked the ad. Now this ad could be anything; it could be an awesome undiscovered site or it could range something on the line of a hidden satanic cult or porn site (this is the net after all).… Continue
