But that was wrong. A person should not expect to get the promotion just because of how long they have been around. At 33 the person could have better education and enough experience to bring positive changes rather than old guard doing the same way its always been done.

And the problem with EMS as illustrated by your statement: We've always done it this way so we'll keep doing it this way. Yes things change daily and return to old at times but we need to be willing to look at the possibility that the new ways could be better.

So your going to check for tampons?

Your sarcasm sadly is how the county I work in part time looks at it. They just dropped any funding to the two towns that provide EMS service to it leaving several thousand people with no ambulance response. The two citys have the legal right not to respond beyond city limits. Now the county I'm in with full time their philosophy is if our stationing ambulances even in remote lightly populated areas saves one persons life in the next hundred years it was worth the added expense. Golden hour is no longer standard, so non issue even though my part time it was the golden 90 minutes to a band aid facility. Your right people want to know that they can get pizza more than they're interested in an ambulnce until the actual emergency happens. Oh and actually my educated guess is 80% could wait 24 hours for the ambulance with no ill affects, in fact many would be well by the time ambulance arrived.

UMMMM. Perhaps you need to look at updating yourself. Coma cocktails are on the out, at least in the field.

CPR for an hour enroute to the hospital. Bad protocols if that is what you do. You should not be picking up a code and rolling. If viable perform CPR, AED, ALS if available, on scene, if no return of pulse you let the funeral home come get them.

I could give you the proper name for that type of personality but then I would be guilty also. :wink:

Hey don't forget to go to the 2 sites on page 1 and voice your concerns. Of course they will probably get deleted there like mine did. I was even nice and polite but because I expressed an anti- Fire message mine were deleted. In fact here they are to make it easier: http://www.emsresponder.com/article/articl...p;siteSection=1 http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2008/...ass-in-session/

I'm thinking of an illness/condition that a child might mistake the parents as saying zebra. OK Doc name that illness/condition.

Dang calm down. I had the trouble maker smiley up didn't I? Yes I really figured you meant skin condition such as temp, pale, red, flushed, etc etc. Now I'll forgive you this one time as I hate them darn steriods to.

Why are you going to treat her differently if shes white, black, brown, etc? :twisted:

Nothing in EMS makes sense. Lack of any real required education is the biggest thing that makes no sense. As to restraints never had to call anyone. If I needed them restrained I restrained them and documented reason in report. Those mother may I systems really suck.

So you passed easily I take it. Those questions are a lot easier than what my course designed.

Congrats. When do you start Paramedic degree?

Wow I see the future and this post is really going to get ugly. How about we focus on the transplant rather than bash each other.

I like your way of thinking. :wink:

You really sound as if you are borderline MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitive). Prednisone - hate it but I sure breath better after a while. I hate the swelling from it.

I think we are about to get some kind of sales speech. But as far as time to scene we have probably 25% calls over 45 minutes. Biggest problem is money. Until money is given to properly equip and staff delays in ambulances getting out the door, and even to scene, times will be long. There is no way to operate my part time service correctly with the amount of money it gets from city/county and from collections. So what are you selling?
