Cover spread: The Texas EMS/Trauma
System marks its 20th anniversary and
Texas EMS Magazine is taking a look back
at how the system began. This 1997 photo
by Pat Craddock illustrates the complexity
of a trauma scene-and made us realize
how far we've come in the 20 years since

Above: This photo from Don Elbert (who,
with 38 years in EMS, definitely qualifies
as subject of this issue's EMS Experience
series) is an impromptu group shot of
ETMC EMS following a staff meeting in
1979. Elbert (standing, far left) is quick to
point out that blue jeans were not part of
the uniform-the off-duty guys simply put
uniform shirts on for the photo. He says the
Oldsmobile ambulance had the smoothest
ride of any ambulance he's ever been in.May/June 2012 Texas EMS Magazine 3
