Page: Always Remembered, Always Inspiring http://www.prq0.com/apps/redir.asp?link=XcbgejeeDA,ZdbijgijaaEE&oid=UdjggCE&iclitemid=YcdghjdhjEG&tid=WiaehceCF As we approach the one-year anniversary of the death of James O. Page, the founding publisher of JEMS, we thought it fitting to reprint an essay from his book The Magic of 3 a.m. Page’s essays continue to motivate prehospital providers to achieve excellence in all aspects of their life—on the street, in the office and behind the podium—and it’s in his memory that we're honored to reprint, “Re-enlisting as an EMT.” To read his essay, click here.

The request is made in order to limit complications resulting from self-dispatching volunteers. For details, click here. Paramedicine Abroad: EMS in the Canary Islands By Attila J.
