RE: EMS Dino list

[Guest guest]

Can I stake a claim for the Arizona Chapter?

EMT Training AAOS Orange Book - 1972; EMT-A, first Brady yellow book?,

1976; EMT Intermediate, 1980; EMT-I Cardiac, 1982; Paramedic, 1984. I wore

every certification patch Arizona issued, including the first EMT I patch

which was only issued about 3 years before it changed (boy was it ugly).

The joys of living in a rural area where ALS training was impossible to come

by. Thank goodness for grants! From Cadillac to Mini-mod; from funeral

home to high performance system; it has been interesting.

I don't think location makes much difference when we begin to reach back.

After a while it seems to blend together, but what a ride!

I guess I'll play....got my EMT in 1974 in Cincinnati and was one of the first 8

Paramedics in the City of Cincinnati. Dr. Henry Heimlich personally taught us

his NEW airway maneuver he was developing. Paramedic in 1976, no state test yet,

trained at University of Cincinnati Medical School in trial program. Gentleman

came down from Columbus, Ohio and told our class he was starting a little

organization called National Registry and did we want to be early members. I had

a really low number but gave it up when I moved to Texas and didn't need it

since it wasn't recognized here. We had the Motorola Apcor radio to transmit

EKG's and a huge heavy EKG monitor, can't remember the name. I moved to Austin

in 1981 and have been with Austin EMS since....Bill Needles

So does the military count in on this " Dino-Medic " , was a combat medic

in 1978, then after 6 years got out and got TDH certified in each of

the levels. Took EMT/P at Amarillo College with Debbie Davenport as

the instructor.

Whatever happened to Debbie? I moved away and lost track.
