Back up dates, anyone?

The 90 day pre-purchase window for intercontinental flights being even reasonably affordable is swiftly coming to a close and I have no ticket in hand.

Sadly, we are still waiting on one supervisor to either approve or disapprove of the Project and we can move on. I'm pumped, Mark is pumped, the BBC is pumped, you are pumped...this person perhaps, not so pumped.

So to keep you all excited I'll post a little video to get your toes tapping.



I'm glad his flack jacket says "FDNY" and not "FIRE." Always thought putting FIRE on something a gunman might see seemed odd.

Waiting

So here we are, waiting for word from the BBC as to when the production will take place. I've been spending down time at the firehouse setting up permissions for Mark to ride on various apparatus and see the way we do things.

The wait is excruciating. I want to get going, get over there and see this system in action. It has such potential to solve problems, both fiscal and treatment, that I can't move forward on my project until I have a better idea on how it can be applied.

So...

...we wait.

The Project begins

We announced the Project yesterday to rave reviews, it seems. Many of our followers are understandably congratulatory, they are like friends. I think the real admiration for the project, if there is any, will be in the real time sharing and interaction with the experience. I envision (hope) to update the blog and twitter constantly, so folks feel as if they're riding along side.

In other Project news:

Spoke with the BBC rep this morning (his afternoon) to discuss different topics he wanted clarification on. A lot of trying to explain how EMS is delivered in the US, without making it sound like a bunch of thrown together ideas, which it really is. the problem with "State's Rights" is that everyone invents a wheel of a different size and shape so that it barely works, if at all, somewhere else. I'm interested to see how a generalized program can work as I believe the NHS model does.

For now, we're just waiting on the BBC schedule, and then it's off to the races to get everything lined up and ready to go.
