A Little About Myself...

I used to be certified as a New York State Critical Care Emergency Medical Technician (EMT-CC). The EMT-CC level is trained and certified (in most NY EMS systems) as an Advanced Life Support technician, capable of starting Intravenous lines (IV's), EKG Interpretation and manual defibrillation, Intubation, and Medication Administration (some which require on-line Medical Command permission, others that don't). The EMT-CC levels is just below the EMT-Paramedic level, and just above the EMT-Intermediate level.

I used to work at two ambulance squads in the Southern Tier of New York State: Harpur's Ferry Student Volunteer Ambulance Service, LTD. (HFSVAS), serving SUNY Binghamton (where I completed my undergraduate studies), and now operates at the Advanced Life Support (ALS) level, and I was until recently employed at Broome Volunteer Emergency Squad (BVES), a full-time ALS level ambulance squad that serves nearly 70% of Broome County. BVES is based in Binghamton, NY, and is a volunteer squad supplemented with paid ALS personnel and drivers. I have been a member of Harpur's Ferry since my first semester at Binghamton University (fall 1992), and a member of BVES since 1993. I was a Medic and driver at both, as well as on the Training Committee and ALS Committee at Harpur's Ferry, and on the Observer Training and Crew Chief Training Committees at BVES.
