“Are you ready?” After seven years working as a Paramedic in Charlotte, N.C., responding to over 8,000 emergency calls, one call changed his life forever. …..just then, an out of control tractor trailer came roaring down the highway and slammed into the accident scene hitting the medic truck, the other vehicles, and ultimately Tim. He was pinned between the vehicle and the guardrail and dragged over 60 feet until he was hit again by the truck's bed, knocking his body off of his legs. Tim’s legs were severed instantly above the knee. With his personal story of faith and triumph, Tim hopes to reach people with his inspiring message.

At the conclusion of the symposium the participants should be able to discuss and debate the current trends, as well the trends and

concepts for a safer EMS culture.
