About Me: Over the past 30 years I've gone from urban paramedic programs to specializing in wilderness & movie set emergency management. I have been honored to work on numerous movies including Planet of the Apes & Pearl Harbor. I am also very much into Resort, Campground & Wilderness settings, and have set up numerous emergency plans nationwide.
I am a guest speaker and author, "America's Dumbest Doctors"

Day Job: Consultant & Author

Personal Site/Profile: http://America's Dumbest Doctors.com

I Love Being in Fire/EMS Because: Regretfully, I left the fire / EMS model because of the constant egotistical bickering among those who truly do know better. Much of urban EMS is a caricature of what it could be.

"America's Dumbest Doctors" an edgy-humorous view of a deadly serious matter

I invite EMS professionals to take a look at "America's Dumbest Doctors" - a non-fiction study of the phenomenal volume of physician misbehavior in America.

The subject can be quickly assessed by visiting MedicalManiacs.com.

I saw news reports of one of the EMTs telling every last detail about the call. People in the US and most companies would get fired and have their EMT/Medic etc license revokes for violating patient confidentiality. Even if there wasn't a law, commen decency should have kept him from opening his mouth and giving EMS workers a bad name by talking. You can't believe how many questions from people I have had about that here in California.
