AK I have a busieness proposal for you. Why not supply them fleshlights, we will rebox the & call them SEXY WATER CURE :twisted:

Go on, admit it you were curious..... :twisted:

Marty, unfortunatley as I have said before, some of this is reported as a paramedic did this when it had nothing to do with his employment. The sad fact is we will have sexual predators ( i am a pervert not a predator & i heard those snickers) paedophiles (that is the correct spelling) & other sicko's, but, unfortunatley because of our position in the community it makes what they think is good journalism. These sick bastards are in reality in every profession, every town, every country but the accountants never have their professions named or the journalists for some strange reason (Conspiracy thoerists enter at this point please). These are in the minority NOT the majority & we, as pre hospital clinitians need to be professional enough to prove to our patients that we are not all of that ilk. Phil

I thought this was the primary objective?

BRILLIANT ROLMFAO

To save my fingers & mouse clicks i wil start by saying that EMS should NOT be a division of Fire or Nursing. It is a seperate stand alone profession. I do not want to denegrate nurses, they do a fantastic job, but on the whole work best in a controlled hospital environment. Same goes for our Fire friends. Firefighting is a specialty & is treated as such, as are Police. EMS is a unique specialty that crosses many different fields & we deserve the repect that is afforded to other professions. There will always be a place for volunteers in ems. I say this because we always have to be mindful of costs & practicalities. Smaller areas need to have some Vollies to provide BLS until paid professional EMS is available. I say this because as scott stated 'Pay should be in line with other health professionals' Where does the money come from to pay for these professionals in smaller communities? I am also a firm believer that while ems crosses both the health field & emergency services fields, it should not be run on a 'for profit' basis. Same for all healthcare. Health & Primary Emergency services should be a function of Government, with paid providors used as an adjunct for things such as sporting events with licensing controlled by the government to enforce regulations. This should be a state, not federal function & would allow for the use of statewide protocols etc. I cannot however agree to an entry level of a Bachelor of Science, from experience, the best pre-hospital care providors I have come across would never get this qualification, they are hands on, I do however believe that education should be continuing & current thinking on the best forms are a combination of didactic learning initially with self paced learning in set modules with exams to follow& a graduation of learning over a set period of time. Education needs to be kept current with modern proven learning techniques engaged to ensure the highest possible level of practical knowledge maintained. EMS is education in progress. You need the basics, but from there you need to have common sense & the ability to put that knowledge into practice. A combination of the above will lead you to Autonomy, increased professionalism & community respect. Uniforms, badges & the like are a necesarry wank, but keep it simple & practicle. The most important thing we do is show we care, over 90% of people dont need any form of intervention, just a taxi ride to hospital, but they deserve as much of our attention as the major trauma, the major cardiac event. We need to also remember what we are not. We are not Doctors, we are not in a sterile hospital environment. We provide professional prehospital care to the sick, injured & needy of our communities. We make a Provisional diagnosis based on the information we have provided to us. We make decisions based on that information. I have seen too many people in here get hung up on things like over oxygenating a COPD patient. We hey, they need it, give it to them, on high flow, then let the DOCTORS & HOSPITAL worry about it later. Or one i saw in chat was trying to convince me that I should be considering electrolytes when infusing fluids. Well sorry, if the pt is severly hypotensive or dehydrated, i am more concerned with renal function than an electrolyte imbalance that i cant test for & can be corrected in hospital. Lets leave the Doctor stuff for the Doctors & concentrate on the things that are proven to provide positive outcomes for people, early administration of ASA to AMI pt's with nitro & O2, defibrillation for cardiac arrest patients, pain managment etc. that too will help with professionalism.

Can we also start one for those who insist on debate by Google (a fine resource if used appropriatley) & debate by Wikipedia (for those who dont know, here is how Wiki is maintained.... )

We could call it The Buck Ram (he wrote the original song for the Platters & was also their manager for those who care) thread, you know Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh) Pretending I'm doing well (ooh ooh) My need is such I pretend too much I'm lonely but no one can tell Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh) Adrift in a world of my own (ooh ooh) I play the game but to my real shame You've left me to dream all alone Too real is this feeling of make believe Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal Ooh Ooh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh) Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh) I seem to be what I'm not (you see) I'm wearing my heart like a crown Pretending that you're still around Yeah ooh hoo Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal Oh yes I'm the great pretender Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh) I seem to be what I'm not you see I'm wearing my heart like a crown Pretending that you're Pretending that you're still around

Air Force One arrives at Heathrow and President Bush strides to a warm and dignified reception from the Queen. They are driven in a 1934 Bentley to the edge of central London where they change to a magnificent 17th century carriage hitched to six white horses. They continue on towards Buckingham Palace waving to the thousands of cheering Britons; all is going well. Suddenly the right rear horse lets fly with the most horrendous earth shattering fart ever heard in the British Empire. The smell is atrocious and both passengers in the carriage must use handkerchiefs over their noses. The fart shakes the coach but the two dignitaries of State do their best to ignore the incident. The Queen turns to President Bush, "Mr. President please accept my regrets... I am sure you understand there are some things that even a Queen cannot control." George Bush, always trying to be 'Presidential,' replied: "Your Majesty, do not give the matter another thought.... Until you mentioned it, I thought it was one of the horses."

I am trying to picture ak in a nurses outfit with his fleshlight in his other hand.........

Three desperately ill men met with their doctor one day to discuss their options. One was an alcoholic, one was a chain smoker, & one was a homosexual. The doctor, addressing all three of them, said, 'If any of you indulge in your vices one more time, you will surely die.' The men left the doctor's office, each convinced that he would never again indulge himself in his vice. While walking toward the subway for their return trip to the suburbs, they passed a bar. The Alcoholic, hearing the loud music & smelling the ale, could not stop himself. His buddies accompanied him into the bar, where he had a shot of whiskey. No sooner had he replaced the shot glass on the bar, he fell off his stool, stone cold dead. His companions, somewhat shaken, left the bar, realizing how seriously they must take the doctor's words. As they walked along, they came upon a cigarette butt lying on the ground, still burning. The Homosexual looked at the Chain Smoker & said, 'You know if you bend over to pick that up, we're both dead.'

I know the studies that prove the benefits of ASA use. I know patients dont understand the difference between an allergy & an adverse reaction. I know some Medical staff do not tell the whole truth regarding allergies. What about consent? IF the patient believes that they have an allergy, either true or false & they do not want to take it, we cant force them, can we?

I love you too Jill
