A call to arms! EMT-B's defend yourself!

Just FYI, O2 protocols differ by area. High flow would be required here.

Well, if you want to get technical, all "patients in distress" in LA County require high flow O2 and medics per protocol. http://ladhs.org/ems/Manuals/policies/ref800/802-2.pdf

So stop giving me the old "you obviously don't understand his views..." routine. I don't care, and I think that people should be speaking for themselves and not other people. I doubt that Dust appreciates anyone taking up the gauntlet for him, he likes to pick the thing up himself.

Ahh, see, that makes your opening post have an entirely different motivation behind it. Without knowledge of the Dust man himself proposing this topic, it seemed more like an ambush of sorts for people to have a dig at Dust

My bad.. 8)

Just wondering .......... were you ever a basic or did you just train as a field medic with the military and then challange the civilian Medics boards???? I respect your stand on many of the topics you have posted on that is why I wondered. If that is the road you took it would explain why you feel that only medics would be on the trucks......

Uhh.. no problemo... but I clearly stated that the thread was started with Dust's consent (in fact it was the very first line of the original post). It is quite possible I confused people with my incredible grasp of vocaboolaree. I apologize for my sesquipedalian proclivities.
