The local hospital/trauma center is doing a series of public health lectures. They're teaming up a paramedic and a physician to discuss the prehospital/in-hospital care of Strokes, MI's, and Trauma. I got "nominated" to represent our service on the paramedic end (I only play a doctor on TV).

I don't normally do public speaking engagements. It's not for lack of talent, I just don't want to end up being one of those guys that gets called to open new shopping malls and movie theaters. I had my share of ribbon cuttings in the ealry 90's. Nuff is 'nuff.

My service also has a full time Public Relations Officer. He's constantly in the schools doing seat belt awareness in driver's ed classes. He's all over the place all year long. I'm sure he'll have something planned for EMS week, I just don't know what.

Our supervisors cooked breakfast for us Monday and today...and tomorrow night, there's a fish fry at the station. Then breakfast again on Friday (that way everyone gets to eat from both shifts).

Happy EMS week!
