EMCrit – by Scott Weingart

Scott is an ED doctor working in New York City who is passionate about bringing his patients the best level of care possible, and in communicating this best practice to the world. He presents a series of podcasts and blogs about various topics from pelvic trauma to sepsis, as well as a range of videos on things such as laryngoscopy. Whilst his blog is not specific to pre-hospital practice, much of what he talks about can be translated in to the pre-hospital environment.

Scott's blog can be found at http://www.emtcrit.org and you can subscribe to his podcasts or mailing list and follow him on Facebook or Twitter.

Emergency Law

 

 

This blog is maintained by Michael Eburn (Senior Fellow at the ANU College of Law and the Fenner School of Environment and Society at the Australian National University, Canberra) to discuss legal issues affecting the emergency services (that is fire, ambulance and rescue services) in Australia. Why Michael Eburn?

Ambulance Visibility

 

 

John Killeen authors the blog "Ambulance Visibility" whilst working as an Intensive Care Paramedic with the Australian Capital Territory Ambulance Service in Canberra, Australia. He works both on-road and in the ACT Ambulance management team.

John has been involved with visual warning research for emergency vehicles since 1998 when he compiled a comprehensive research report titled “The theoretical and practical aspects of visual warning methods in use on emergency vehicles”. This report is now a key reference document for Australian emergency agencies.

Feature Blog - Random Acts of Reality

'Random Acts of Reality' is a London-based paramedic blog about former London Ambulance Service (LAS) EMT, Brian Kellett. Brian wrote under the pseudonym, Tom Reynolds, up until his departure from the service in August last year.

Although Brian no longer works for the LAS and the blog has come to a halt, it is still a great read for those looking to gain some insight into the life of an EMT working in one of the busiest and most populated cities in Europe. The blog provides details of the numerous cases that Brian has worked throughout his career, and utilises a comical style of writing when talking about the job. Brian makes some critiques of the LAS and NHS, some of which may be driven by cynicism that can develop from a long career of shift work in under-funded health services, however this does not detract from reading about his many interesting experiences.

Brian has also written a book compiled from much of his blog: 'Blood, Sweat & Tea', on which a newly released UK comedy-drama series called 'Sirens' has been loosely based. The TV series first screened on Monday the 27th June, 2011. Paramedic Malcolm Woollard comments on the new series here.
