Wilderness medicine enthusiast. When I am not paddling with my family, or teaching wildmed, I'm on the road as an Ops Supervisor Paramedic.

Suspension Trauma or safety Harness injuries??? Does anyone have data on injury rates or deaths. How about case studies or news reports on actual injuries caused by safety harnesses?

@mike_merko The lack of arms is a little barrier

Mannequins are no dummies... they want to go paddling to.. having fun teaching wilderness first Responder course at #campkandalore

Wow. Finally have a hard copy of my Field Gude to Wilderness Medicine. I hope our students love it. #ravenrescue

Yesterday @HPS_Paramedics graciously accepted a cheque for 20k dollars from @FirehouseSubs Public Safety Foundation that will be used to form a #Paramedic Bike Unit. This will help enhance public safety & community engagement initiatives. Visit https://t.co/DKs24Cdv4Q for more!

Doug was passionate about this cause. Whether in the Ambulance helping people or filling it every Christmas to help @CityKidz Doug loved to give back.

Outward Bound Canada has made the difficult decision to cancel all of our courses scheduled from now until May 25, 2020. Since the majority of our courses occur in the summer, we remain hopeful that we will have another great season ahead. https://t.co/T6BGsX1M4O

Ornge is need of @3M N95 masks, specifically models: 9210+, 1870+, 1805, 1804, 1860, 1860s.

If you have any of these masks available to keep our paramedics and pilots safe from COVID-19, please contact us at [email protected].

Some hindsight from a HEMS/Retrieval and EMS coordinator physician from northern Italy that I hope will be useful: ICU management of COVID-19 gets a lot of attention but the disease will swamp EMS and EDs first.

No one should be prohibited from working because of their faith

In Ontario, Sikh paramedics are being forced to choose between their faith and their profession

This is wrong

I'm calling on the Conservative Government to act now and end this discrimination

Ontario eyes religious accommodations for Sikh paramedics https://t.co/0WSNKpjtEd via @torontostar

@russellcrocker @HPS_Paramedics @JonathanHesler Don't bother bringing post it notes... in ops we're too busy doing stuff to map out any process

[Len James @lenmedic]

@imccann1 Having just started administering this med at special events it is interesting to see more evidence. I think the "green whisle" is a great addition to our pain management toolbox. I wonder if ontario base hospitals are watching???

[CPER @CPER_HHS]

Ontario Government has proposed changes to the Ambulance Act. They are currently looking for your feedback until October 06, 2019. Let your paramedic voice be heard. Follow the link and give them your opinion on the new changes!
