Paramedic and EMS science nerd. Any opinions are my own and should largely be ignored. Except for the ones concerning beer quality. Those are empirically true.

In keeping with my personal tradition of being late to the party, I have decided to finally start posting quasi-meaningful professional tidbits now that Twitter is slowly dying a sad and confusing death.

So, here goes;

Almost more than any other industry, EMS is a team sport.

@LynnetheSunny You'll love it, it's a great program!

For a few of my followers I don't ever see face-to-face;

I'm moving to Austin in a couple weeks to start working with a certain municipal 3rd service agency. Don't want to give it away but it starts with "Austin" and ends with "EMS". Anyone have any local connections?

Me for the last three months, trying to find something to get excited about:

"Well, at least baseball season starts soon."

Me, today, watching MLBs nonsense:

I've spent a lot of time on twitter reading others' thoughts and thinking, "there's not much more I can add to that", and "nobody's following me so there's no point in sharing my own views".

I am just realizing how illogical that is and that I've kind of missed the point.

@samuelkordik @CCEMSTX Thank you sir! I wouldn't have had the opportunity without your mentorship!

[Alex Moore @Alex_Moore_NRP]

Nothing like getting mentioned in a @rpcrowe tweet to remind you that Twitter is also for sharing your thoughts and opinions, not just laughing at EMS memes.

Coronavirus case counts are meaningless*.

(*Unless you know something about testing. And even then, well, it's complicated.)

Wow. Now that is data that means something. Time to copy literally everything Washington state is doing.

I really like seeing this: March 26 vs March 30
Most US cities #COVID19 hit are flattening the slope of their fatality curves and increasing deaths doubling time

[Justin Hensley @EBMgoneWILD]

At this point I'm more and more convinced that there needs to be a wholesale change of #EMS. bringing stable nearly asymptomatic patients who are elderly for non-emergent conditions is putting their lives at risk. I'm not saying chest pain or stroke symptoms shouldn't come 1/

N95 masks are made in China and and shipments have halted. Chinese are trying to buy any and all masks from the US.

Patients should not be given N95s, they only need surgical masks.

EMS agencies need to stock up and create mask policies IMHO.
