Here’s a great story from WSFB-TV Channel 3 Eyewitness News (Hartford-New Haven) featuring our very own Peter Canning from the Street Watch: Notes of a Paramedic blog!

Watch as Peter calls in a “definite STEMI Alert” and activates the cath lab!

    I agree, Christopher! Peter did a great job, and it was a much better than average story about STEMI! Tom

    Little known fact: before Peter became a speechwriter for Lowell Weicker, and then a talented paramedic, he was Chewbacca in the original Star Wars.
