I can remember how horrified I was the first time I had to do it. Then the patient took the suction from my hand and did it himself. It sounded like I was killing the guy.
I got some laughs out of that! My partner was absolutely HORRIFIED when she called me to the back of the rig to do it when she lost breathing on an emergency fire evacuation patient. She was like your killing him your killing him!
Oh, an why should we not sound mean? I think we as EMTs should take a very tough position on education and incompetence.
