A moment frozen in time.

I looked down at his small body, thinking that this time, I would make a difference. He was breathing 2 minutes ago. He was at school earlier that same day. Maybe its just respiratory arrest? He had a pulse as we moved him from the front room where I found him lying on the settee, looking noth...

Signing Off.

I figure that now is the time to make the announcement. Sometime, very shortly, this blog will disappear from the Fire&EMS Blog Network. This is no reflection what so ever on the Network, on the contrary, the exposure that being part of such an esteemed group of EMS Bloggers and having access to th...

Almost a good bye

As I am sure that you have noticed, the frequency of my posting is not that great at the moment. If you have been following me on twitter, you will know that it has been a particularly tough couple of months with one thing or another, which hasnt exactly put me in the writing frame of mind. Howe...

Its a CoEMS Birthday!

mark g. posted an article on - Feb 13, 2011, 4:21 am
Has it really been a year? I woke up this morning, rolled onto my side, reached over a still sleeping junior999 and grabbed my iphone. As is my usual morning routine, I try to keep little one asleep as long as possible, so rather than get out of bed I lie quietly reading through the latest blog pos...

Its child's play!

mark g. posted an article on - Feb 7, 2011, 11:06 am
As I stand ironing Mrs999s clothes for tomorrow morning, I half hear pre-school999 and olderbrother999 playing in the hallway. It appears that they want to go upstairs and play on the xbox together (which in reality means that poor olderbrother999 will have to settle for whatever pre-school999 wants...

That damned spam filter!!

mark g. posted an article on - Feb 5, 2011, 6:02 pm
Just a quick note to say that I have just noticed that virtually 99% of all comments that have been coming into the blog have been filtered into my spam folder of my email. I usually rely on wordpress informing me via email when comments come in, but I have just been thinking that no one has been c...

A sigh of relief

mark g. posted an article on - Feb 2, 2011, 7:05 am
Sometimes in this job we can be harder on ourselves than anyone else could be. We question ourselves… Did I do everything I could? Should I have done this? Maybe I should have done that? Have I caused ….? Was it my fault…..? If you were quick enough, some of you would have seen a post p...

A reminder….

mark g. posted an article on - Jan 27, 2011, 12:24 am
(I apologise if this reads like a pat on the back to myself – maybe it is, but I think I need it at the minute!) It’s no secret that over the past few weeks I have been reconsidering my future and where I want to be in the next part of career. I have been looking at a variety of opportunities b...

Oh No!! An Observer!

mark g. posted an article on - Jan 20, 2011, 2:32 pm
It’s a simple sentence, with no particular threat to it at all, yet for some medics it is like giving them notification of some horrendous impending doom. “Joe, you have an observer coming out with you today” *Screeeeaaaaammmmm!!!* They are not half as common as they used to be. There was o...

Now that is just plain Cool!!!!

mark g. posted an article on - Jan 14, 2011, 9:55 am
Whilst walking around Marks and Spencers, doing the food shop with Mrs999, I thought I would sneak a quick peek at my emails on the old trusty iPhone. Next thing heard was me saying out loud “Now that is just cool!!” I had received an email from Bill Carey, the news and  blog manager for JEM...
