With religious accommodation in the news comes this story: The EEOC says the North Memorial Health Care System rescinded a job offer to nurse Emily Sure-Ondara after she asked for her faith's sabbath day off. Is there space in your system for religion-based requests like this? Should there be?  http://www.emsworld.com/news/12115699

On a wintry January day in 2014, an Allina Health Emergency Medical Services ambulance collided with an SUV in Buffalo, Minn. The driver of the SUV was killed and the ambulance crew critically injured. As the victims recovered, Allina decided its crew could be better protected, and they quickly got to work figuring out a new ambulance design.

Early this summer, a resident at Kentwood Manor Nursing Home in rural Louisiana had a leg wound that wouldn’t heal. The staff and specialists in the region were flummoxed, so nursing head Karey Thigpen turned to a social network created by Toronto startup Figure 1 Inc.
Like Instagram for doctors, Figure 1 app now has 500,000 users

I'm sure this family is in agony and looking to be able to off load some of this grief. I pray they find comfort in the community supporting them. I prey that these fire fighters continue to do an amazing job fightings a swift and hot fire.

It’s time to free your agency from the frustrating mix of manual, paper-based scheduling processes for tracking time off, and managing overtime, trades and leave. In this free webcast, scheduled for September 23, Long Beach Fire Department Battalion Chief Michael Nadolski will share how his department facilitates a more efficient and reliable staffing environment from beginning to end.

From the EMS World Archives: Get a Clue. "Sometimes our most useful assessment tool is a willing suspension of disbelief. Bias, assumptions and devotion to rote principles narrow the scope of curiosity and promote complacency. To perceive half a pattern is to see no pattern at all." www.emsworld.com/article/10305340

Good Friday may as well be called Black Friday as far as traumatized paramedic-dispatcher Hardeep Dhaliwal is concerned. The day holds such terrible memories that he shudders at the thought of it.

"In the Red" is a documentary about three young men in Oakland, CA, who participate in an 18-week program to train them to become firefighters. The film follows their lives for nearly two years. Not everyone will succeed. But for those who make it through, their lives will be forever changed. Film will be released in 2016.
