Stone Cold Pimpin’

I’m adding a couple of regular reads to the Blogs I Read Every Day. One of them is an experienced medic and committed gadfly malcontent contrarian advocate for paramedic autonomy and thorn in the side of absentee medical directors everywhere. He’s Rogue Medic, and he’s on a mission.

I’ve met Rogue Medic at a couple of EMS conferences, and have chatted, sparred, and debated with the guy on various forums for at least five years now. Aside from being rather droll and more than a little funny lookin’, he’s a pretty sharp cookie. You EMS types should give him a read. Hell, everyone should.

The second guy is a fellow I am proud to call a close friend. He lives in another part of the country, and we may only have a chance to get together a few times a year, but hardly a day goes by when we aren’t yukking it up in one forum or another.

This guy is also indirectly responsible for the existence of this blog. Less than two years ago, he posted an e-mail to an EMS discussion group entitled “If AD were a west Texas police officer,” along with a link to LawDog’s amorous armadillo story.

I followed the link, became an instant LawDog fan, and soon sent him a copy of my book. Shortly thereafter, I started this blog. The rest, as they say, is history.

His blog description says it all: Paramedicine, politics, guns, a little Country Western music.

He’s a medblogger. He’s a gunblogger. He’s a politico blogger. He’s Too Old To Work, and Too Young To Retire. Y’all pay him a visit, and welcome him to the blogosphere.
