Courtesy Shock

Sorry. That’s all I got. Just making sure you knew I was alive.

I’ve added an embedded chat app to the page(see above link bar!). I plan to maybe throw together a med-bloggers-chat-round-table-dealy-bob-watchmacallit.

Give the app a try to see if it works for you. Let me know what you think about this idea and give me a shout about when might work for you!

Courtesy Shock is a hybridization of everything that is EMS. From cookbook medicine to drunks and nut jobs… This blog is about it all!

I am a 25 year old white guy in the upper Mid West living the dream as a medic, husband, and now a father.

My beautiful wife and I live in my hometown, where I work for The Little Ambulance that Could. We have a 2 month old son, 3 dogs, and several fish. 

I couldn’t be more of a dork–from computers to my aquarium. I also happen to be a gadget whore…

Today is just another day… But it is going to be a great one!

DES MOINES, Iowa (Reuters) – A plan to rename Iowa's department for the elderly will not result in its tag becoming the same as hospital code for "dead on arrival," the agency's chief said on Wednesday. State lawmakers raised eyebrows when they voted earlier on Wednesday to change the name of the Department of Elder Affairs to the Department on Aging, or DOA. Director John McCalley said he would use the shorthand DA instead. "You can't have an acronym like this when you're referring to elderly people," said Representative Dave Heaton, 68, when the legislature approved the change. Lawmakers want to make the department's name conform with those of federal agencies that deal with the elderly, said Representative Janet Petersen, 38. She said the department's existing name is also a problem because some older Iowans dislike being referred to as "elders." Iowa's governor must approve the change for it to become law
