Happy Blog Birthday!

Five years. . . Its been five years.

I never thought that I would have kept this blog going for as long as I have.  There have been many highs and lows in the 357 posts that preceded this one.  I’ve been accosted by the main stream media, shared my struggles with starting over, interviewed the stars of the show Sirens, and even posted an obituary with the most notorious of EMS “super users.”

When I started writing back in 2010, I viewed it as cheap therapy.  I always enjoyed writing, and saw the opportunity to blog as a great outlet for a lot of my frustrations while working in Springfield.  Five years later, while sharing my thoughts is still extremely cathartic, I have seen the external benefits of the blog as well.  Two weeks ago I saw my first article posted at EMS 1.  I’m hoping that it is the first of many to come.

Once again, thanks to everyone who has stuck with me through the highs and the lows.  This little experiment that started as a free Blogspot has grown to be what medicsbk.com is today.  I’m looking forward to the years and opportunities to come!
