Vickery, A.D. Personal Interview. 17 February, 2015.
A.D. Vickery is involved with the Seattle fire department, I asked him several questions about how the two interact
and what kinds of equipment are found in the paramedic vehicles.
Cobb, Leonard, and AP Hallstrom. “Community Based Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: What Have We Learned?” Annal New
York Academy of Science, 382, (1982). Web. 18 January, 2015.
This study followed up the study form 1979 regarding community CPR, and it documented a huge increase in
survival, because there is now a way for care to begin before the aid unit. This is a valuable source because it was
also a turning point, and a very innovative study out of Medic One.
Cobb, Leonard, et al. “A Population Based Investigation of Public Access Defibrillation: Role of Emergency Medical Services
Care.” Resuscitation, (2010). Web. 16 January, 2015.
This study was mentioned to me in one of my interviews, and it documented a large increase of survival which is
what I was looking for in these studies. This was a turning point for Medic One, and a very great study for my project.
Cobb, Leonard, et al. “A Rapid Response System for out-of-hospital Cardiac Emergencies.” Medical Clinic North America, 60,
(1979). Web. 16 January, 2015.
This was one of the initial studies out of Medic One. It was valuable to me because I could see how Medic One was
researching, and what data they were using to asses improvements early on.
Cobb, Leonard, et al. “Ambulatory Arrhythmias in Resuscitated Victim of Cardiac Arrest.” Circulation, 66, (1982). Web. 16
January, 2015.
This study showed me the extent that Medic One takes to learn more about how the heart works, and how certain
types of functions may be early signs of cardiac arrest. It was great to see how Medic One tests everything in
order to increase survival.
Cobb, Leonard, et al. “Amiodarone for Resuscitation After out-of-hospital Cardic Arrest due to Ventricular Fibrillation.” New
England Journal of Medicine, 341, (1999). Web. 18 January, 2015.
This study was of interest to Jan Sprake, it talks about the use of new medications in the field and the process by
which Medic One improves their system.
Cobb, Leonard, et al. “Bystander Initiated Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in the Management of Ventricular Fibrillation.”
Annals of Internal Medicine, 90, (1979). Web. 18 January, 2015.
This was a study that came out of Medic One testing bystander CPR. It gave me a good look at how Medic One
does its research, and also gave the data that came from out of the Medic Two program.
Cobb, Leonard. Personal Interview. 3 March, 2015.
Dr. Cobb was a co-founder of Medic One. From him I learned information from the perspective of a brand new
EMS. This was a perspective I did not have, making this interview extraordinarily useful.
Eisenberg, Mickey. Personal Interview. 15 December, 2014.
Mickey Eisenberg is a leader of modern Medic One, but was also around since the very beginning. He provided me
with a detailed background of Medic One. Since he had been there since the very beginning, I learned a lot about
the early progression of Medic One. He also pointed me to a website that holds the studies that came out of Medic
One.
Larsen, Jonathan. Personal Interview. 24 February, 2015.
Jonathan Larsen is the current chief of Medic One. His interview not only provided me with information, but many of
the pictures found on my website. In this was Captain Larsen was invaluable.
“Leading Cause of Death.” Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. n.p. February 6, 2015.
Web. 2/16/15.
This source showed me how many people die every year from cardiac arrest, and how this compares to other
diseases.
“Medic 2 training grant awarded” Seattle Times 22 October 1971: B6. lib.washington.edu.
2/13/15.
This was a newspaper that gave me the date when Medic 2 started, and also a number of citizens taught CPR in
the first year.
Sprake, Jan. Personal Interview. 15 December, 2014
Jan Sprake is the president of the Medic One Foundation. She gave me a detailed history of the Medic One
Foundation, how it functions, and where it gets all of its money. This interview was crucial because I could not find
anything on the Medic One Foundation prior to this.

development of Medic One and opened up new branches in my research.
