In life, it seems that there must be a great event to learn some of the most valuable lessons. A great event not always meaning something fantastic, but something significant that interrupts your day or something that consumes your thoughts for a period of time. This morning, via Facebook, I got word that a classmate […]

Well it’s been over a year since I have last blogged about anything happening in my life, and it was suggested that I get back into a routine to try to help alleviate some of the stress that I have built up over the years. So here we go…again! This week is Paramedic Services week […]

Its been about 24 hours since the news broke about a bus crash in my home province of Saskatchewan, and honestly, I’ve been a roller coaster of emotions since hearing about it. First off, let me point out that I have had no professional involvement in this tragedy, as it wasn’t in my service area, […]

I had written a post yesterday but I wasn’t sure if it was up to my standards of quality, so it sits saved for a later date. However, being that it’s Canadian Thanksgiving today, I have decided that we should explore what a paramedic, or maybe just myself might be thankful for this year. To […]

For the last week or so I have been trying to think of a topic to write about this week. A few days ago I came up with the topic of “Pretending to be Something You’re Not”, and it resonated in my head ever since. I came across a quote some time ago and had […]

So as I was sitting in the office today, I felt that I had the time to do some continuing education for credits. For those of you that aren’t aware, in Saskatchewan, we must have so many credits accumulated every year as well as some required training to be able to be licensed for the […]
