I hate that saying, I hate it, hate it hate it, just like the saying Diesel bolus. and many others. I literally save my emt's life, yep, yep I did. Ask me how we did it, it's a fun story. Scary as hell when it happened. But I did. He was sick, real sick with the shit's/pukes. We started a bananna bag on him, the minute the fluid went in him, he had an anaphylactic reaction to the dye in the bag. He nearly coded, but I gave him 0.3 epi and some benadryl and thus saved his life. That's it, thats how I saved his life. Not fancy, I didn't get a medal. But that's all I did.

This is the biggest BS topic of all time. 1. EMS is about patient care, not egos of those involved. 2. If you think it is a pissing match about who is better, think again. 3. To serve our patients better, we all need to look at our roles & identify what level of care is needed for each individual patient. 4. How many calls in reality are ALS or BLS calls? & WHO CARES!!!!!!! There is a place in EMS for all levels of training, from basic to medic, volly's included & threads like this do nothing to bridge the gap but conversly widen the gap between the skill levels. Each needs to function with mutual respect for each other. No one is better than the other because of their skill level. The reality is for a medic to be a good medic, then they need to be good at the basics first. Get over it. Phil
