OK I saw in another forum a discussion of Basics doing "ALS" procedures. One post though seemed to indicate by sarcasm that it was a bad idea. Here is that qoute of Medic417

"Once when the hospital was in serious crisis I was asked to assist in surgery. Since I knew how to spread a chest I did to save time for the surgeon. Thinking about it I think we should start doing it in the ambulance to save time for the surgeon. I mean all we're gonna do is seperate the ribs,not actually touch the heart or anything like that. I mean its so simple a monkey can be trained to do it so why shouldn't we add this skill?"

So what are your opinions?

One time I pushed a McDonalds straw inside another McDonalds straw.... I am pretty sure I could insert a stent.

How much would you charge? I might need one and well I'm sure as we're friends you could fix me up on the cheap. :D
