    Are there any memoirs(preferrably Kindle/Nook) written about EMS in this century?

    Seems that every book I buy and read is entertaining and sometimes to a point educational, but all of them are written about events that happened from the mid '70s to the late '90s. There are no memoirs that I can find about events that occurred in the last decade. Are there any out there that...

    Is EMS right for me?

    Is EMS right for me?

    About a year ago, my nephew had his third birthday party at the fire station that covers my sis and brother-in-law's neighborhood. While several of the kids were out playing in one of the garages, I hung back to talk with the firefighters. First of all, I thanked them for what they did...

    Is EMS right for me?

    Really enjoying meeting all these iOS developers here as well :) As far as my back goes, no injuries there. My knee isn't bad, but it is just annoyingly painful enough to keep me from "taking a knee" on that knee. Otherwise, it usually takes days of exercise before I really started noticing...

    Is EMS right for me?

    That was going to be my next set of questions... First of all, are there any books you all would recommend that I read that would help give me a little bit of a head start before going into the classes? Which classes would you specifically recommend I take while healing up after surgery so...

    Is EMS right for me?

    Right now, I work full time as an IT contractor getting anywhere from 40 hours per week to 55+ hours per week depending on the week. During my free time, I have started a sole proprietorship (that I hope to turn into an S-Corp or LLC before the end of the year) doing iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad...
