So why make an issue of it? My comment was simply to say that my medical director is very involved with our EMS system. Do you have M.D. after your name or are you a paramedic? Paramedics operate on protocols, online/offline medical direction etc. I will just remind everyone that this...

My point exactly.

And I agree, if I screw up it's MY license. Not theirs, and not yours so don't sweat it ;)

As an experienced EMS provider I went to school with other experienced providers. We did half a day of classroom and half a day of lab every day. I understand where the hostility comes from with accelerated/hybrid programs because I recently saw a thread about an online paramedic program. I am...
