Basics and Intermediates ONLY No more BLS 911 ambulances?

[toutdoors]

Spen, I could not agree more with what you highlighted in my post. While doing my ride time, I witnessed the medics conferring with each other at times. No big deal as far as I am concerned. I think it provides both parties involved the opportunity to put in their two cents, and make sure everyone is on the same team.

When I was orientating to the medic position from my intermediate position after my testing was done, we ran a heck of a trauma where the pt needed RSI. The two medics working were both trying to get the tube, but to no avail, in went the King LT. Even with dual medics on board, sometimes things get BLS treatment out of neccessity. It is what it is.

I still think at least one seasoned medic is preferred.
