Why a paramedic, and not a travel blogger?

Doug Frankfather spent over 30 years on the front lines of emergency medicine as a city firefighter-paramedic and later as an EMS Program Director and Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine. Over50Strong exists to put that field experience directly in your pocket — not to sell you a lifestyle.
