What happened to the ALS and BLS forum?

Hey, I've been busy lately and not been on much but what happened to the ALS and BLS forums? They do away with them?

T'was officially announced here exactly two months ago.

A thread that I accidentally deleted caused me to do what I have been meaning to do at the suggestion of Dust. There is no longer an ALS area or BLS area, there is just a patient care area. My understanding is that the "Basic" part of the EMT certification is disappearing from your cards in the future reflecting the growing role of this level of provider.

I would like us focus on patient care. Perhaps we should realize there really is no BLS or ALS skill, just patient care skills. Some skills are invasive, some not. We do have different levels of providers that can perform these different skills based on education and comfort level of medical control.

On that note, I will lock this tread so we can go forward in a productive manner.

Area Description:

Discuss current trends, common difficulties, and proper management of the critically ill or injured in the pre-hospital care setting.
