New Beginnings

I first got involved in EMS when I was in high school, on the grounds that it "looked cool." Having been bit by the bug, I went on to volunteer for a fire department and work for a couple of different private ambulance services throughout college. Although I have a collegiate business background, I was compelled to pursue this new passion of emergency services after college. I now work as a paramedic/firefighter for a busy urban/suburban fire department. 

At one point, I believed that the fire service held all things present and future for my life. After experiencing a drop of medicine in paramedic school, however, I find myself longing for more involvement in medicine. As a result, I am perhaps working my way towards a career as a physician associate. 

These posts are a result of my time on the street. They are a chronicle of real calls and the reflections stemming from them. I will attempt, at first, to backtrack a bit. I want to start from the end of paramedic school--with my first days as a medic on the street.
