A New Story, part of my series, "Humanizing Medical Care in the Street." AN EMS call beneath an overpass becomes something more - a quiet moment of human connection in a job that rarely stops. "Sometimes the Medicine Isn’t in the Bag" medium.com/p/sometimes-the-m…

What began as a routine call quickly became one of the most haunting scenes of neglect I've ever encountered. An elderly woman — frail, forgotten, left to rot alive — clinging to life in conditions no human being should ever endure. medium.com/p/despicable-care…

I've launched a blog called "Humanizing Medical Care in the Street" - a place for the stories we carry in silence. The grief behind the medicine. The weight behind the care. This is the first story I've shared, I hope you read it. medium.com/p/unanswered-pray…

Just attended ATLS (10th Edition). The worse course / content I’ve ever seen. American College of Surgeons should be ashamed of themselves.

2nd big news of the day in NC EMS: a move to request a legislative change to allow EMS to be self-governed our own board rather than being controlled by outside bodies! Self-governed EMS for a body of degree prepared professionals!! What a great vision! @IAFCCP @EMSWorldNews

Orthostatic vitals are common in Paramedicine, but, just how useful are they? #FOAMed #FOAMems
If you plan on having a CVA, be sure it’s Monday - Friday from 9-4! Like Level I Trauma Centers, maybe “Neuroscience Centers” should require round the clock in-house interventional neurologists. – at New Jersey, USA
