Within the past few weeks, the Professional Ambulance Association of Wisconsin began featuring  writings on its website by Gundersen Tri-State Ambulance employee and Critical Care Paramedic Crystal Wallin.

According to PAAW Executive Director Joe Covelli, "We never considered a writers blog until PAAW board member and Gundersen Tri-State Ambulance Executive Director Tom Tornstrom shared the idea."  He added, "Tom shared a few of Crystal's writings with me.  She has the ability to put you, as the reader, right in the human experience as an EMT and patient caregiver - and the range of emotions the job and work life deliver." 

Covelli shared Wallin's featured writings with EMS World Editorial Director Nancy Perry, who quickly agreed it is very good.  Perry offered Wallin space at EMSWorld.com for her writings and visibility to an audience of 50,000 online readers.  EMS World is a leading national EMS magazine and online publisher of EMS news, information and content.

According to Wallin, "This is all so surreal".
