EMS Expo 2009

The EMS Expo at the Georgia World Congress Center was a blast for us. Mainly because we got to run our mouths. As usual, I was at the forefront of yapping and got to see the old gang banging about pilfering goodies and buying neat gadgets. We also got a pleasant surprise or two. The first is our introduction to Kip and Doc Aaron. These two gentlemen came to Atlanta by way of some state out west of the Mississippi river and brought mats to tumble on. Rather mats to get thrown around on or cushion… Continue

DT4EMS "Defensive Tactics 4 EMS"

How safe is your scene?

How safe is your scene?

These are just a few reports from the news. At what point did these EMS providers have an opportunity to check for scene safety?

With the NAEMT releasing a study of 52% of injuries in EMS coming from assault…… it’s obvious EMS providers are assaulted on scenes they thought were safe. According to Dr. Brian McGuire EMS providers are 30 times more likely to be injured on the job from ASSAULTS than most other proffesions.

DT4EMS "Defensive Tactics 4 EMS"

What DT4EMS Defensive Tactics for EMS is........really.

Dear EMS Professional,

Have you or your staff ever been threatened, yelled at or physically assaulted by a patient, upset family member or bystander?

Did you know, according to several studies, injuries from assaults are the number one cause for lost work hours in EMS?

Most EMS providers can answer yes to at least one of these questions. If you are among them our D… Continue

November Tactical Medic Class CANCELED

Sorry folks, but the November Tactical Medic Class at Morehouse School of Medicine is canceled. We apologize for the inconvience but the recovery efforts in the city of Austell for the flood will cut into the class. The city of Austell allows us a unique opportunity to interact with the community to produce trauma lanes and scenarios unmatched by any tactical medic course. By no means do we wish to detract from the student's learning environment by not incorporating these valuable learning tools… Continue

Disaster relief aid station

I had the unique opportunity to assist with the disaster relief in Austell. With every deployment you must take in and learn what goes right and what does not. We take that information and build upon our skills and knowledge for future missions. In our line of work we train for such missions but until you pound the ground you can not appreciate your training.
I knew there was a lot of damage from the media but I had no idea. More than 600 homes were destroyed, leaving upwards of 1800 people disp… Continue
