Once there was a time when we were "Ambulance Drivers"
Most of us will grind our teeth when the local media prints an action picture of us in the paper and then refer to us as an "Ambulance Driver" to the public.

What do you mean, there's no 'Big Money' in EMS ?
Probably by now you've discovered that unless you work a lot of overtime your next check won't be enough to buy that new Lamborghini.

Compassion for others, the common bond in EMS
In today's commercial society, where the attitude of ''what's in it for me'', made all that more obvious with a constant stream of commercialization, its refreshing to see that there are still those who retain a concept of compassion to others and their communities.

What can you do with an extra $20.80 a week ?
Realizing that EMS delivery systems vary from community to community and one size does not fit all, if its considered a ''profession'' shouldn't there be a professional wage that attracts well qualified personnel and retains them? Food stamps, WIC, Medicaid, and Section 8 housing should never be considered employee benefits.

Who and where are the next visionaries
Over the years I have been involved in EMS, the one thing I have observed is how many truly intelligent people are attracted to the field and make contributions. Bright stars that shimmer in our midst and leave a lasting effect for future generations.

The human species and job security in EMS
...those of us in EMS will continue to have job security, no matter what system of delivery, public or private, so long as humans exist.

Politicians Drain EMS
"Bush visit tab totals $200,000" caught my eye and my ire.
