Hi, my name is Kent Pippin. I'm a Lieutenant and Medical Officer for a Fire Department in Central Texas. I have over 20 years of experience in Fire and EMS and hold a BAAS in Fire and Emergency Services and an AAS in EMS. I am a Critical Care Paramedic (CCP-C), Tactical Paramedic (TP-C), Texas Licensed Paramedic, EMS Instructor, and Master Firefighter. In addition to my full time career and consulting, I also teach Active Threat classes nationwide, and have presented on Pre-Hospital Whole Blood at numerous national conferences.
My favorite part of my job is helping patients in their time of need, and nothing makes a greater impact on that than Pre-Hospital Whole Blood. My fire department has carried blood for over 5 years now and we transfuse it frequently. I have personally witnessed dozens of patients survive injuries thanks to Whole Blood that would have otherwise been fatal, and I can tell you it is nothing short of amazing.
I started EMS Blood Consultants to help spread this treatment across the country through customized problem-solving and training.
