What Does It Mean To Be a "Dinosaur of EMS"?

The Dinosaurs of EMS are the old guys that have been in the industry and in emergency medicine for decades, watching it adapt, influencing change, and continuing to serve others today.  We have among us one such dinosaur.  Brian Davis first earned his EMT in 1987...after that his intermediate, then his paramedic; more recently, he returned to complete an additional college degree in Municipal Fire Protection.  He began his career at AmCare (if anyone still remembers that name), evolved with the changes that eventually became EMSA, did a stint in Dispatch, then went to work for the Office of the Medical Director, and landed at Edmond Fire Department where he serves as the EMS Chief over the EMS Division...in addition to picking up the occasional class as an instructor at Heartland CPR, where his style and off-kilter sense of humor set the cornerstone for our method of instruction.

Congrats to our very own "dinosaur" among for achieving this distinction in EMS, still making progress toward another decade, and making a difference every day.  We're proud of you, old man!
