There’s a lot of cumulative stress from working in EMS, and each medic tries to find a way to survive that. There are few other jobs that, when you go to work, you know you are going to see tragedy. You have to find a healthy outlet for that stress. Some people do sports. Some people find negative outlets like drinking or pills. I’ve always said, ‘...
Nothing pisses off an EMT or paramedic more than being called an ambulance driver. It stabs at their heart. You don’t call a police officer a police car driver or a firefighter a fire truck driver. I also wanted to educate the public.
That’s like saying what’s your favorite child! The best cartoon is when you don’t even need words — it’s just visual.

The question is: How do we capture them? I hear a lot of old-timers complain about those generations. Well, stop complaining about them. Instead, figure o...
We can take a lesson from police and fire. We don’t honor our profession in the same way firefighters and police officers do. They have a history and tradition, and people honor and respect that and want to be part of it. We need to honor our dead. We also don’t look sharp. We need to look more professional, in our dress and in how we present ourse...
It’s an incredibly powerful program I started with my late partner in 1998. Today, it’s in 33 states. I am more proud of that than any of my cartoons. It got started when my partner and I were taking a hospice patient home to die. He was struggling to look out the window and said, ‘I want to see the Aspens one more time.’ It was fall, and the leave...
