This week I am posting a replay of a very special interview done in 2008 with Rob Davis. Rob was a strong voice in EMS and sat with me to discuss the challenges facing EMS, what he felt was holding us back and how we could make changes to move the EMS profession forward.
When I listened back to this audio I wondered how many things have changed in the years since this interview.
Take a listen to this interview and post what you think is different between 2008 and now.
