This Saturday I am doing my first book signing. I’m not deluding myself in thinking it will be a big event. I am attending the FDIC conference (Fire fighters and EMTs) and signing books at one of the booksellers. The conference is in the Indianapolis Convention Center Thursday to Saturday April 22-25th. I’m looking forward to interacting with some EMS troops who are actively in the trenches. My hope is that I can convince them that while I’m not in there with them, I’m trying to improve their lot in life with research and development. Any who are willing to help with the research I’ll try to encourage and make connections with other researchers.
I feel the anticipation of going on a blind date. I hope that the guys still in the trenches will respond to what I tried to do with the book and what I’m trying to do with my research.
There is a lot of good medicine going on in an ambulance and at the scene of a sick or injured patient and hopefully my research will improve the care for those patients. In turn it should also help the EMS personnel by better arming them to do their jobs.
