Blitz the German Shepherd
Months later, Blitz still remembers his Schutzhund training. (I've been really busy with school.) He begs for this stuff.
Check out the latest blog post from the folks at EMS POCUS:
"While a closer look at the subject is needed, especially at the paramedic level, the potential for intraarest echocardiography is evident. In this era of integrated cardiac arrest care, which emphasizes starting treatment at the citizen level and moves as many advanced beneficial treatments toward the front of the chain of survival as possible, expect the subject of POCUS to quickly come into the spotlight as the future of prehospital care."

Make Your Course Cards Count: With all the talk of turning us from technicians into clinicians, of embracing the concept of diagnosing versus describing and with the overall push to create a solid educational foundation to this profession, perhaps we should not be shunning the card courses so much as using them as one of our available vehicles to drive improvement. www.emsworld.com/12122436

The Art of Compassion in EMS: It takes immense fortitude and strength to connect deeply with others in their most personal, intimate and vulnerable moments. Those who work in EMS do it every day. Often these “moments that matter” go unseen and unheard with the exception of those directly involved. They are not charted, they are not recorded, they don’t make headlines, they are not written on the back of a shirt, and there is no horn section. They are quiet, personal and profoundly sacred. They are beautiful examples of human kindness and of selfless humanity. www.emsworld.com/12130396
