6 October ..

A day late for this week’s blog…

The result of a who knows what …

Arthritic tremor plagued fingers, a glitch in the cloud program, a misalignment of the stars, a what-the-heck-was-that …

But somehow the most perfect blog ever composed was lost.

I’ll do my best to do it over. Sorry.

One thing I managed to retrieve was an article in Time magazine about the first, trained EMTs in America.

https://time.com/6215072/first-paramedics-black-men-history/?cmpid=email-hist-inside-history-2022-1005-10052022&om_rid=d1e0c7c6f9cd1bd795585832b18d8c47db18da133669769ef6c111f38fbc682a&~campaign=hist-inside-history-2022-1005

Interesting reading.

As an emergency RN dealing with EMTs on fire trucks and in ambulances, I thought the idea was attributed to an MD working at County General Hospital in Los Angeles. 

Oh  well …

So ‘til the next blog …

We know we must learn from and take responsibility for the painful lessons of the past in order to move into a better future.

And ‘til next week …
