Anne from MedicalAssistantSchools.org sent me a note congratulating EverydayEMSTips.com as a Top 40 EMT Blog. I appreciate the recognition.

Top EMT BlogThe best recognition I receive as a blogger is your comments, emails, and distribution of posts through Facebook, Twitter, and other social network sharing. Some people even ask me if they can print out posts and tack them to a bulletin board (remember those things made of cork that you stuck pins into?). Of course you can print and share.

Thanks Anne for recognizing EverydayEMSTips.com and many other fine EMS Blogs at Top 40 EMT Blogs.
