Preventing Super Medic -itis ... ?

[firedoc5]

I wholeheartedly believe this statement to be true. In my experience the ones labeling a "Paragod" are cocky know-it-all EMT's. Even as a first year student I have been called a paragod just for asking to look at a pt's 12 lead at the recieving hospital, or looking up a med in the CPS in the rig.

In my experience, if you are not an EMT, and you show that even for a second around someone who has been an EMT for a long time, you will be labeled.

Yep, that's how it works. You show just a hint of initiative they'll nail ya.
