My EMS textbook, which drilled (over and over) the fact that the French army was the first to (literally) cart wounded from the battlefield in 1790, makes no mention of Freedom House. I only found out about it because it was mentioned on an episode of a medical drama on Max.

After Freedom House was closed, a city ambulance service WAS adopted in Pittsburg, which benefitted greatly from the standards its predecessor company put in place. Unfortunately, the Freedom House paramedics were fired or moved to menial, non-technical jobs, and replaced by white paramedics.

...by the local mayor who, apparently, had close ties to the police union, which had been in charge of pre-hospital transport (often via paddy wagon!!) prior to the creation of the Freedom House service.

The service was staffed by 25 black men recruited from The Hill District, an economically depressed, predominantly black neighborhood in Pittsburg. After all the groundbreaking work done by Freedom House, which dramatically reduced pre-hospital deaths there, the program was killed...

For those of you who bet a buck that I would end up in a vehicle with sirens on it and not be sick, injured, or handcuffed, I'm happy to report you just won a million dollars.

Another great product and customer service organization is @lecreuset.bsky.social. I had to say goodbye to my 25-year-old (!! - yep, I'm old) Dutch oven, which has been putting at least one meal per week on the table for my family. Will definitely be getting another Le Creuset to replace it.

Home sick today and finally got around watching Joker 2. I know I'm going to catch a lot of heat for this but at the halfway point I am really liking it.

I recently went to Rome for the first time and visited the Coliseum. While I was there, I gathered some dirt from the ground level and took it home with me in a baggie.
You see me wiping that s**t on my hands, you had better run, because I'm about to whup someone's ass.
