The name of the blog is A Day In The Life Of An Ambulance Driver. It was intended to be my creative outlet, and a way for me to polish my writing and trial-balloon new stories.
It’s never been a purely medical blog. I write about my job, my interests and my hobbies, and my bitches and beefs. It’s a microcosm of whatever is going on in my life at that particular moment, hence the title.
And frankly, I rather like the fact that my blog is neither fish nor fowl nor good red meat.
Lately though, the days in the life of this ambulance driver that I am inspired to write about have little to do with work. In an effort to stave off impending burnout, I’ve been trying to do more for myself, and obsess less about work. Hence, more guns and miscellaneous stuff, and less medicine.
And I know that pimping myself and the book may get tiresome as well, and believe me, it’s no less tiresome for me. But Kaplan Publishing took a chance on me, primarily from what they read in this blog, and I owe it to them to promote the book whenever I can.
(And it’s a damned good book, available for only $24.95 retail!)
I know that EMS stories are why many of you read, and I’m sorry I’ve disappointed you of late.
But just as many more seem to like my (admittedly) non-expert anecdotes and commentary on guns and such.
And a few Anonymi hate pretty much everything I write, but apparently continue to read anyway. (And bless your hating little hearts for it. – Ed.)
So I suppose my question is, what would you like to see more of? Go back to opining primarily on medical issues and sharing my EMS stories with you, or keep doing what I am now?
I’ll tell you right now that I’m not going to cease being an EMS/gun/daddy/potty humor blogger just to please a vocal few people who would presume to dictate my blog topics, but I am interested in what you’d like to read, and I’ll try to give you more of it.
Let me know your preferences in comments.
