Fla. EMT sues 911 caller over injury claims

[Richard B the EMT]

Euphonisms? I think the word is actually spelled Euphemisms.

Anyway, how does the terminology of Public Service Employee, Emergency Service Employee, or Public Safety Employee strike you?

Actually, I think this discussion has already been beaten and flayed, under if we EMSers are to be categorized as "Public Safety" or "Medical", and I feel we will be arguing that for at least the next decade.

(Note how carefully I don't publicly take a side, here?)

Richard only out dated people use any term for us other than Pre Hospital Medical Professionals. :wink:

But notice I didn't take sides or did I? :twisted:

I have not expired! Therefore, I am not outdated.

I also date! I have a "steady", and I am her "steady", but then, we're going off topic HERE.

Eu Phon Ism... Eu meaning positive, phon meaning sound, and ism because that's what we put on the end of words.

So it must have sounded good? I personally like the word cacaphony... caca meaning... and phon meaning sound... cacapony = sounds like CRAP!

Aaaahh I knew the word didn't look quite right when i pressed "change" on the spell correct!

Servant has such a negative connotation, and I didn't become a paramedic to be called somebodys Servant. While I accept crap pay, long hours etc. etc. I do that because its a job I love not because when I was young I wanted to grow up and become some misinformed half wits Servant!!!

I don't mind what you want to call me, but don't call me a Servant!

Understand I am in full "tongue in cheek" mode. You are not a servant...
