[...] Kelly Grayson pointed out that “Paramedic Tebow” would lead his peers in the amount of code-saves, but also pointed out that many of those “codes” could have been prevented by proper assessments and treatment to prevent patient’s from deteriorating to that point. In the end he concluded that Paramedic Tebow would recognize this and would strive to make himself be the best paramedic he can. Check out his version at “The Day in the Life of an Ambulance Driver” HERE. [...]

The auction for the custom kilt is to benefit kid’s cancer, not prostate cancer. It’s a charity our Kilted to Kick Cancer sponsor Alt.Kilt supports, and so do we.

We’re perfectly happy with you bidding to support this very worthy cause.

I bid on a custom kilt (for my beloved SIL…who wore a rented one when he married my DD) … but it’s showing a different charity (something for kids…definitely not prostate-related). Can you clarify? I want credit to go to the right place!

Your post ”But, But… It’s For Your Own Good!” really made me question the ethics of that type of drug test. Thanks for questioning. Would it be okay if I used a portion of the post for a new blog post my writing team would be creating in the future?

Thanks!

In response to seeing this everywhere on facebook recently:

Somewhere a paramedic is being yelled at for taking too long to get there; trying to save the life of a total stranger; holding their bladder because their Radio just went off; starving because they missed a meal; having to keep a stone face at an accident scene where there’s 2 dead kids; and now its 4 am, and they’re missing THEIR family while taking care of YOURS. Re-post if you are a paramedic, love a paramedic, or appreciate a paramedic. You all know who you are….

I preferred this version:

A more accurate version
Somewhere a paramedic is being yelled cos they deserved it; trying to save the life of a total stranger because thats their job; holding their bladder because they drink too much coffee; starving because they they can’t pack a sandwhich; having to keep a stone face at triage cos they’re not welcome; and now its 4 am, and they’re missing THEIR sleep because they don’t like office work.
