“And That’s When It All Came Together”
There are moments in life when everything clicks. Synchronicity. Poetry in motion. Bliss.
Those moments on our journey when the map suddenly seems so clear and our destination so much closer. It can be a moment of insight or learning, a realignment of our priorities or perhaps just a stunning instant of clarity. Regardless, they are sacred moments in our human experience.
This month, in true EMT Spot fashion, I asked EMS bloggers from around the world to share with you their sacred moments of clarity when everything came together. I hope you enjoy the stories of these fellow travelers. All of us share the experience of stumbling down life’s road looking for a signpost to point the way. One of the most amazing things about breakthroughs is that they help us to point the way for others who follow.
Each of these stories is a sign post in-and-of itself. It’s impossible to tell the story of your own breakthrough without becoming a teacher to the weary traveler who chooses to listen. Perhaps that’s what makes these moments sacred.

May is here and The Handover Blog Carnival is back. On Thursday, May 27th, I’ll be posting the latest incarnation of The Handover right here at The EMT Spot. I hope you’ll be a part of it.
After a brief hiatus and a change of ownership, The Handover is now under the watchful guidance of two great voices in the EMS blogshphere. Andrew Giebel from the blog From A Probies Eyes and Joel Nield, better known as Rescue Monkey are now the keepers of all things Handover.
So let’s get to it. In true EMT Spot fashion, this month’s Handover is dedicated to those brilliant moments of epiphany that make life grand. We’re going to look at the turning points, the eye openers and the new dawns.
This month’s theme is, ” … And that’s when it all came together.”

April is a promise that May is bound to keep.
- Hal Borland
I can’t make any promises about May, but I can venture a guess that the world of EMS will be every bit as interesting as it was in April here at The Spot. I started by telling you about the hydrogen peroxide, blood stain trick and then moved on to a few thoughts about assessment and scope of practice. Then we spent a few suspenseful days on the EMT liability pop quiz followed up with some thoughts on failure and a request to tell The Discovery Channel about The Chronicles of EMS. I ended off with a little observation about bringing yourself to work and that brings us here. *Deep breath.*
