The long duration shift.

Really hot out there in EMS World today! Congratulations to my partner Megan Stafford for getting into medical school! She will be a great EMS DOC!

A shift that involved a lot of prolonged patient extrications… the humidity did not help.

Another awesome Pittsburgh marathon! Proud of my wife who ran the whole thing! I’d rather work the medical tent… Delirious runners say the most interesting “stuff”…

Working with the weekend crew. Fun times.

Congratulations to Paramedics Mark Schneider, Daniel Berg and Nolan McGrann who were recognized for their outstanding patient care! In the last month, they successfully resuscitated patients in cardiac arrest and those patients are now doing well and at home with their families.

2nd shift with the weekend crew! Good times.

Post night shift greeter. He understands me. He’s a good boy.
