I admit it, I’ve slipped and stumbled. My blog has been reduced nearly to the occasional urban tumbleweed (read: plastic bag) that kind of blows through every so often. With high hopes for content, I have not nearly been putting out as much as I would have liked, and you know what? It’s my fault. It’s all my fault.
While I was expecting big things for 2012, and I seemed to start off on the right track, the last few months have not been quite as fruitful for a number of different reasons, many of which will become more clear in the coming months. One thing is for sure though: I need to get back to what is important.
I have been reminded a lot of why I really enjoy this online community lately, and why I am so passionate about EMS. I had a chance to speak to the guy who made this all possible for me: the one who set me up in Oakland that opened my eyes to the Chronicles of EMS. I have talked to a few people who I truly respect about the direction of my career and my potential future and have gotten nothing but support. To those people: you know who you are, and I thank you.
Above all else, I need to get to what is important to me: writing, being a good paramedic, a good supervisor, and a strong advocate for the industry and frankly, there is no better time than now for me to get cranking on that. I am in a holding pattern at the moment, treading water if you will. The NREMT-P card is in my pocket along with my PALS, PHTLS, and a new ACLS card. It took a lot of hard work, and I am ready to put forth that sort of effort here among other places.
I think that getting everything back on track is just what medical control ordered.
To all of you who have been faithful readers during the last year and a half, I am sorry I have neglected you. I will tell you that I plan on continuing to write this blog for myself, but I welcome you to share in this journey with me. Something tells me the next couple of months are going to be quite the ride!
Eloquent as always
