The last “celebrity medic” featured a popular scientist that had the ability to travel through time. Well this week I want to step it up a notch and feature 2 totally awesome time traveling dudes that I feel would be a perfect fit for a job in EMS. Whether they are running excellent adventures to calls for critical trauma, or bogus journeys to the local nursing homes, Bill and Ted would most definitely lead the EMS industry.

So as always, we must ask the ever important question. What kind of paramedics would Bill and Ted be?

Shifts

As mentioned before, time travel makes shifts a thing of the past.

Vehicle

I’m going to have to stick with the original time-traveling phone booth. This is for the simple reason that it is just to awesome to modify. Multiple patients can be transported in this vehicle, however they would be have to be placed in a standing position.

Scene Safety

Being cleared to scenes would not be necessary for Bill and Ted’s ambulance service. Their safety would be ensured by bringing along “Billy the Kid” and “Genghis Khan”. I can assure you that the team would be left unharmed.

Supervision

Bill and Ted may make good medics, but would require some oversight. And what better person to fill the roll of “Totally Excellent Paramedic Supervisor” than the one and only Rufus? He’s smart, experienced and comes complete with his own phone booth.

Medical Direction

Finding a medical director would not be a problem for team. Dr. Sigmund Freud may be old-school, but he would be a great fit. The “Freud Dude” could also be utilized for critical incident stress debriefing.

Fitness Programs

As we all know, physical health is something that is commonly overlooked in EMS. Bill and Ted would have the benefit of utilizing “Joan of Arch” to start their first aerobics class.

Service Name

Wild Stallions Ambulance Service dude!

Equipment

What would Bill and Ted’s ambulance service be without some totally awesome equipment? Below is a list of some essential tools:

• Fender American Stratocaster / traction splint.
• Guitar Tuner – Could double as an Sp02 monitor.
• Marshall 150watt guitar amp with external port for attaching defibrillator paddles.
• Hollowed out drum – To be used as a c-collar.
• Yamaha Keyboard – Can be used to make siren noises or as a backboard.
• Guitar Cables – Can be used as restraints.

As always, I welcome any comments or suggestions. I hope you all have a great week!
