Sorry Anthony I did not get your point about superiority till now. You are right I should have been gentler for the first time correction.

If thats the case it seems what we have here is a failure to communicate.

Then you translate what I was nice in even calling a preschool communication attempt. If this person communicates at that level there is no wonder the city he was at did not hire him, if I got that right. How did you get all the way to talking about a female fellow professionals physical attributes, from me pointing out that persons communication level?

Do you want us to use all efforts to resuscitate you? Thanks for being my first patient.

No attitude given just stated a fact on persons post.

end it now

Or it's not my shift to kill somebody.

My guess is the guy is compensating for something.

If joking is going to be done do it at the station not in public. Don't do anything that can physically hurt someone. Myself other than talking to the person the worst I do is tell them they are in charge as it's my day to freak out on all calls.

no the end

And don't try to be a comedian with a line like those that are dieing are treated last.

Wow you can get an EMT certification with only a preschool level of communication. :oops:

until now the end

Then why in hell are you whining like a baby. You are getting peoples opinions. People are fighting to show why their opinion is the best choice. You should be happy that so many people cared enough to give you advice on a subject that has been dealt with many times. With your current attitude wish it would have just been left at do a search dude. And your FF credentials impress no one. Many of us have been involved in fire as well and many have been smart enough to get of the fire :wink: . A few points that will make your stay at the city more pleasant. 1. Always use spell check. 2. If you ask a question don't take offense at the answers you get. 3. Express your opinions but do so respectfully. 4. Don't demand respect or throw credentials to get respect, earn it by contributing intelligent discourse.

Do what you want. Ignore all the ones that have experience and posted. If you don't want advice don't ask. The fight is not a fight it is each person backing the reason he feels so strongly one way or the other. If you can't handle the heat in the forum you'll never survive in the field.

THE END

I really don't know why USA ambulances will not do like some of those that some of you on the other side of the pond sent pics of on post http://www.emtcity.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7746 But I guess so with many people willing to work for free or on the cheap services will never spent money for anything that can protect workers.

Remember we discussed that. The UK had several styles. Here was the post. http://www.emtcity.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7746

Bad advice. Go straight to Paramedic as soon as possible.

Not saying that one community would have enough people to handle a major disaster. But if funds were distributed so all services properly staffed and equipped then in disaster all surrounding areas could afford to send people and equipment.

Well lets cut the work force in half. Only the most educated need apply. Yes many of us out of a job. Me keeping my job is never an excuse for allowing abuse of the system. You say it is not your problem to worry about if they pay. Remember those days your overworked exhausted. If you denied transport to people that do not need an ambulance, number 1 you would have more time available to catch your breath. #2 if your service still stayed busy only transporting real emergencys which are easier to get funding from your service could afford more people and trucks again keeping you from exhaustion. Also taxes end up paying most of our checks so you are paying higher taxes when you transport BS that does not qualify for reimbursement. Do you want an easy way to know if insurance, medicaid, medicare will pay? Probably not but here it is anyway. If the patient could reasonably have gone by any other means your service will not be paid unless you commit fraud in how you write the report, not having access to another means of transport is not an acceptable reason for ambulance transport. To simplify it further will they die or become permanently worse if not taken by ambulance? Easily 90% if all paper work is done truthfully would be disqualified. Now I do agee though this will not happen wide scale because as you say there are way to many "meatheads" in our profession.
