All About Me

img_0316

Hello one and all!

Welcome to my blog.

I suppose that formality states that I should introduce myself so that we can all get to know each other a little and hopefully develop this blog to its fullest potential.

I am a 30 something  paramedic. I have been working for the North East Ambulance Service for the past 8 years and have been working as a State Registered Paramedic for the last 5 years.

I have a beautiful wife and 3 wonderful children who like to keep me firmly rooted in reality whenever I walk through the door!

I am one of these strange individuals that every work place has. You know the one I mean… the one who loves his job, the one who stays positive about everything even when  things seem to been all going a bit pear shaped. 

I still enjoy coming into work every shift and wherever I go I try and tell anyone who wants to listen, how wonderful my job is. I am also a realist and know that sometimes things dont go to plan, things may get in the way of me being happy ALL of the time. But I tend not to dwell on those things.

I hope to share with you, the blog reader, the ups and downs of being a paramedic in the UK. The good times and the bad, and hopefully, after a while you too will understand why this work becomes more that just a job.

    Greetings,

    My name is Barbara O’ Brien and my blogging at The Mahablog, Crooks and Liars, AlterNet, and elsewhere on the progressive political and health blogophere has earned me the notoriety of being a panelist at the Yearly Kos Convention and a featured guest blogger at the Take Back America Conference in Washington, DC.

    I’m contacting you because I found your site in a prominent politics and health reform blog search and want to tell you about my newest blogging platform —the public concern of politics, and health care and its reform. Our shared concerns include health reform, tort reform, public health, safe workplaces, and asbestos contamination.

    To increase awareness on these important issues, my goal is to get a resource link on your site or even allow me to provide a guest posting. Please contact me back, I hope to hear from you soon. Drop by our site in the meantime—www.maacenter.org/blog.

    Thanks,

    Barbara O’ Brien

    No such thing as STATE registered. That went away with CPSM. You are either registered or you are not.
