| Adult Medical Emergencies | Vehicle Maintenance |
There is no standardized course for adult medical emergencies. Dr. Rothenberg’s course is designed to fill in the blanks for routine medical emergencies seen daily.
M. Rothenberg, MD | One of the problems with using vehicles to transport patients is that they break. A good preventive maintenance program will avoid this. Tom Dickson is a Ford mechanic in addition to being a paramedic.
T. Dickson, EMT-P |
