The Handover - Passion edition

Welcome to Volume 2, Number 1 of the Handover, a blog carnival by and for EMS.  I’m very proud to be hosting it here at Notes from Mosquito Hill this month.  I’ve been participating since Kal hosted the carnival last July, and I count myself lucky to be [...]

Call for submissions

Notes from Mosquito Hill is proud to host this month’s edition of the Handover EMS Blog Carnival, but I need submisisons!  The deadline is Monday, February 22 at midnight.  I currently have two submissions and one “Eep, I forgot!”

The Handover

The 1st Anniversary Edition of The Handover is up over at Gomerville. Buck has some great stuff this month.  Go check it out!

Sunrise and CISD

The Martin boys were home from college, enjoying a night out on the town. Some time around midnight, the twin brothers decided they were too drunk to drive home. They did the right thing, like their parents taught them, and called their friend and neighbor ‘Joe’ for a ride. Unfortunately, Joe was also [...]

Captain Mike

Twice the patient had called EMS, both times with a very serious complaint. When we arrived, both times, we found the patient had been drinking and wanted to go to the hospital for detox. He admitted in private that his more serious complaint was fabricated in an attempt to get a faster response. [...]
