Only takes about an hour on-line to get the haters and trolls to chime in. Fortunately, I was an EMT and have a full med kit at home, and have no need to waste my time with ****s like you.

What kind of company would be able to fix these problems?... One No, please it's good to know. Frankly, this is all academic, but the goal is to inspire thought. One great example is the dispatch systems we use, which can run the gamut from 1960's radio equipment and pen and paper to...

Maybe systemic was misstated. Frankly, I know how futile it is fighting windmills, but there are simple things I see everyday that could use some logic on a localized or wide scale. The factors you mentioned (and seconded VentMonkey) are procedural and psychological, and those can vary...
