Retiring my red patch

[Guest guest]

Dear Texas EMS community- After becoming a EMT Basic in 1976 (First shift was

July 4th, the Bicentennial of our nation), a Paramedic in 1979 and up to today,

I have been certified at some level in EMS. My licensure ends at the end of this

month and I have decided that it is time to let it rest. While I am still active

in EMS through the BAAS in EMS Management program I direct and the National Fire

Academy FESHE EMS Higher Ed Committee, I no longer see myself being in a

position to perform as a paramedic. I do not regret the years I have been a

responder and I must admit, there is a twinge of nostalgia and a sense of loss

for letting this chapter close. However, there are many more chapters left to

write and I know that EMS will be a part of them for many years to come. I will

remain a member of the list, to keep up with life in Texas EMS - you can never

just walk away. This 'Dino-medic' isn't wandering into the swamps to lay down

completely - I will keep a first aid and CPR card, just to cover myself at the

accident I might encounter. I thank all of you for your advice, comradeship and

humor. We are an extended family and I still look upon these as some of the best

experiences of my life - Lawrence A. 'Larry' MS EMT-P NMCEMDirector, EMS
