I felt it was necessary to explain my experience after an amazing day of using the current network of EMS professionals and what came of it. I began talking to friends of mine that I have only learned of through the social media channel twitter and I asked them the explain to me how can I raise enough awareness of the upcoming opportunity to film a pilot episode of Chronicles of EMS. Within 3 hours I had received multiple phone calls and paypal notices from incredible people including @gfriese @sambradley11 @alisonarm, Keith Wesley, MD Medical Director, Owner, EMS Consulting & Education, @rescue_monkey, @micgunderson and more is even coming. With these donations we have been able to green light this project, but are looking to secure additional fund for post production. We have not reached our goal of $5000 yet, but it is obvious from the generosity of those in EMS that we are on the right track here and we are going to make EMS history! I will get more updates as we know them, but Chris Montera is working on the website as we speak and Carissa O’Brien is working on additional funding and I can only say that without their help we would not be here telling this story.

We are looking to raise $5,000.00 QUICKLY, to be able to cover the costs for production crew to film the pilot episode of Chronicles of EMS. It is reality series that takes a look at how social media and the EMS Industry are coming together to provide real time communication, the sharing of best practices and how paramedics from around the world are able to share ideas, thoughts and dreams on how to improve our industry as whole.
Chronicles of EMS was created as a form of edutainment in an effort to inspire dialogue, raising awareness and generating a change of impression the EMS industry has with adopting social media. Paramedic Mark Glencorse and Paramedic Firefighter Justin Schorr from San Francisco Fire Department will be the focus of the pilot episode of this new reality series! We were recently added to EMSResponder.com from our recent press release. Fore more information Click Here

I figured I would post my final thoughts on the EMS Expo after a few days of being back in the saddle and getting moving again. There is nothing but positive things to say about what was experienced out there, but before I go there let me explain what actually happened. Chris Montera of EMS Garage was contacted by the Cygnus Media Group who owns the EMS Magazine.com and EMS Responder.com. They had asked that Chris come up with some type of media coverage of the expo. Of course he obliged and I got a call asking what I thought about providing video support, what was I to say… no? of course not, so the group of us (Thaddeus Setla, Chris Montera, Chris Eldridge, Carissa O’Brien, Jamie Davis, Greg Friese) came together and provided a new website, social media outreach, video production, live talk shows at the conference and daily uploaded product reviews and commentary from the floor of the expo. This was nothing short of amazing from a media standpoint and I want to thank the Cygnus Media Group particularly Nancy and Judy for their support on this project and we hope that we will corner the market on being able to provide this coverage for many years to come!

From my experience working with many EMS organizations we are still a very conservative group, but there are a few supporters of Social Media in the EMS industry as I learned from Richard M Huff (@richmhuff) Chief of Atlantic Highlands in New Jersey and Journalist for the New York Daily News. We spent a week with him at the EMS Expo and found that there is a growing consensus that EMS truly needs this to improve communication among EMS professionals everywhere!

EMS Expo in Atlanta was a huge success from a marketing, promotion, social media, podcasting, streaming live, video production standpoint. So much was accomplished with such a little crew I still sit back in amazement. Carissa Caramanis O’Brien, Chris Montera, Chris Eldridge, Jamie Davis and Greg Friese all participated to make this a major success. We even were able to host the First Ever EMS Expo Live Tweetup at the STATS Bar in Atlanta on Thursday night. With over 35 people joining the party and more joining online live as we streamed interviews and commentary about the EMS Expo it was apparent that we just made history! Here is another short video clip from the EMS Expo Live!

As I filmed and recorded the EMS Educasts from Greg Friese NREMT-P, Medic Casts from Jamie Davis RN, EMT-P it was obvious that education in EMS needs a shot of Epi. We discussed how Entertainment and Education combined has such a better impact on students. Here is an interview on Medic Cast with Host Jamie Davis about “Level Zero” An EMS Documentary.
