Because it bears mentioning, as this is a blog based in the world of prehospital medicine… nothing you read here is meant to be construed as medical advice. Seriously. I’m a Paramedic, and it will help pay the bills if you just call 911 if you think you’re having a medical emergency. 

On a related note, none of the stories here are meant to represent any actual persons living or deceased, and these thoughts and opinions do not in any way represent my employers, coworkers, or peers, unless specifically indicated in an individual post. I make every effort to protect the privacy and dignity of all of my patients by changing names, dates, locations, and various other points of information. If you believe that a privacy violation may have occurred, please contact dave@ventricularescape.com immediately. 

I will do my very best to post as often as I please. If you’re interested in contributing, shoot me an email. Otherwise, you’ll just have to wait until my next long weekend for brilliance to strike. 

Remember… this is just a blog. Play nice. Engage. Converse. Discuss. Don’t be a jerk. Closed course. Trained professional. Do not attempt at home. Your mileage may vary. Results not typical. Single patient use only.
