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
