I’m Not a Magician, Circus Clown, or Performer, But I’ll Get Your Attention

“Ladies & Gentlemen, Boys & Girls” or however you identify, I want to talk to you about EMS!

There will be no card tricks, and I won’t pull any rabbits out of a hat! What I will do is talk about the profession! I’ll talk about expectations from your community, your peers and your supervisors, I talk about the culture, and I’ll talk about perception, and how you can change negative perception.

This powerful keynote address will fill your heads, and you will travel home with a better understanding about where EMS originated, where it’s been and hopefully will prepare you for the future.

This session will have some attendees shaking their heads up and down in agreement with my message, while some might shake their heads from side to side in disagreement.

The purpose of this session is to help you to provide the best pre-hospital emergency care while helping to improve the quality of life in your community.
