A friend (actually, one of the actors from "Emergency!", with whom I am no longer in touch) connected me to Jim Page because I was writing a book with a paramedic hero — never published unfortunately — at the time. Jim and the actor were both kind and generous with their time and stories.

Are you a paramedic? It's an interesting history but probably very, very hard to find.

They've been around so long that it's really rather difficult to fathom life without paramedics. And, who'd have thought EMS had such hodge-podge beginnings? <br /><br />I'm loving the reruns. This week Kiddo is home and he likes Emergency! also (we both prefer the action and comedy of 70s TV, stilted as it sometimes is, to the soap-opera style of today's similar dramas) so I've had a TV buddy, which is super fun.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-20074964669302044602014-07-30T17:01:50.321-05:002014-07-30T17:01:50.321-05:00I didn't know most of what you shared.

It was a little awkward, like reading a heavy chunkster (had to prop it on a pillow, most of the time, and I could recall that when I read it in the 90s I did so on my stomach in the office -- funny) but such a fascinating read!! So glad I was prompted to reread by the TV show!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-45181493625806549752014-07-30T09:00:17.019-05:002014-07-30T09:00:17.019-05:00Wow!!
