NBC’s Trauma showing signs of life…
Rumors are swirling around the internet that, thanks to a recent ratings boost, the love-it-or-hate-it Trauma may be resuscitated by NBC after all.
NBC had planned to run the original 13 episodes that it had ordered, but now rumor has it that more episodes are forthcoming. Some believe that the ever-perplexing Nielsen ratings are responsible, but others believe that a groundswelling of fan support has tipped the scales in the show’s favor. Apparently there’s a #savetrauma campaign on Twitter, and fan fiction has sprung up surrounding the characters, always a sign of true fan loyalty.
CSI for EMS
EMS personnel are an invaluable part of a crime scene, and their unique observations can greatly impact the course of investigation, according to Beonicia Loveless, Medical Examiner Investigator and Child Abuse Investigator for the State of Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Ms. Loveless gave a presentation called “Crime Scene Etiquette for EMS” that went beyond the usual basics of not disturbing the scene or cutting through bullet holes.

Iraqi police learn from US Army medics
It’s not often that positive news comes out of Iraq. So it’s refreshing to hear that medics from the 252nd Combined Arms Battalion, 30th Heavy Brigade Combat Team are teaching Iraqi federal police medical skills used to treat traumatic injuries. Part of the Iraqi Security Agreement, security forces in Baghdad are learning the skills they’ll need to stand on their own when the US forces eventually leave.
ZOLL Now Supporting Chronicles of EMS Pilot
My friends Ted Setla & Chris Montera are trying to put together the first EMS reality series made by EMS providers, for EMS providers. As they try to secure funding for just the pilot of the series, a huge step forward came along today. Monitor/Defibrillator maker ZOLL is signed on as a corporate sponsor.
Video Intro From Chronicles of EMS Gang
Here’s a short video introduction from the Chronicles of EMS stars, Mark and Justin, as they show each other learning about how the EMS systems work differently in each country. Mark is here from the U.K. and is currently in San Francisco riding along with fire fighter / paramedic Justin from SFFD.
Bicycle ambulances saving lives in Africa
For most EMS professionals, state-of-the-art equipment and gadgetry, not to mention ambulances that are quickly becoming rolling ERs, is pretty much par for the course. But a recent story from Malawi shows that sometimes the most low-tech solutions are really all that’s needed to save lives.
