Happy Birthday Happy Medic

One year ago, exactly, I published my first post.

Looking back, I was just hoping to blow off some steam and vent my frustrations with the way EMS and Fire were being used by the folks I encountered. I didn't want to get caught up in the day to day news, there are far better sites for that. I also didn't want to get caught up in training, techniques and instruction, there are far better sites for that.

But I found very few that addressed the situations that make us shake our heads and think, "You called 911...for this?"

The 365 days and almost 400 posts that followed have been an absolute blast. The format has changed repeatedly, as has the picture up there, but one thing remains. I still aim to put a smile on your face giving you a first person account of my encounters with the public at large.

Thank you for stopping by and having a look around, see you next year.

your Happy Medic

Happy. Birthday. Happy!

Congradulations on making this one-year-old blog a place where I come, like 3 times a day, to get my EMS blog fix. You're an inspiration to us all.

3-Cheers for Happy!

Great job HM! Congrats on one year!

I have enjoyed the one or two posts I have read....just kidding! I too was a closet HM reader many times a day. Now I am out!

I am hoping to bring in some of my own ramblings of some of my calls to the FC soon. It is a work in progress and I think that I might be ready to talk about the fires I have been in (both of them...jk)!

I might even talk about the days on the box...as a driver! HA

"Blogoversary".

I'm pretty sure this is an indication of the End of Times. I'd wish you a Happy Birthday or, shudder, Blogoversary, but I think I should get off the computer and find a church.

Cheers...and many more of these accursed -versaries.

Happy 1st blog birthday from all the way over the other side of the pond!

Lets see what we can achieve in the next 12 months!!
Happy birthday. Love the cupcake and party hat look. Between you and MC making this your preferred form of therapy, I was forced to start my own (it's a conspiracy) and am glad I did. Thanks for all the laughs, bro.
