so, to review, your argument is that we should abandon tested medical therapies since testing has uncovered unexpected side effects of several treatments and led to their abandonment? The testing stage should prevent it from causing too much harm in the first place but this is more accurate in...

Sure - lets start a new thread. Perhaps you'll learn something provided you have the ability to think for yourself and not just be a parrot. The snake oil argument is an old one and you really need to up your game-in fact the snake oil is a reverse argument- Remembering..... The Medical...

Boon doc has the crux of the matter- money. Are you trying to suggest some nebulous integrative medicine is going to be better to treat cancer vs. chemo and radiation? It's not going to be IT IS. Though this is not the right forum i'll be brief-50% of Americans will get cancer most will die...

I still hold the same belief CMCSNRP has that the course is perfect, mainly for people who have previous knowledge/experience in a medical field. I hate the current emphasis on skills and training . yes they are important but should not be the primary focus. What we need is real education. We...

Treat your own Back Sore backs are debilitating and most are undiagnosable even with MRI- the obvious disc herniations and osteophytes are at least seeable . I would recommend you guys get hold of the book by Robin McKenzie a New Zealand Physio which shows you how to fix your own back-...

It appears you are doing exactly what you are accusing others of doing You're right i am- i suppose i wasn't expecting that kind of myopic response in a forum of this standing. Thankyou for reading through my posts before just responding in a set preconceived way.I notice how you picked up on...

Hi Halothane the above is what i meant-thank you for clarifying.

Apologies, i think both views are now at the point of the :deadhorse:

I like STXmedic and usually agree with him. That's MY opinion. Figures.ANd you're sticking with your opinion even though it's wrong. Right? Besides with your one line only repertoire i'd hope the patients under your care were unconscious.

Perhaps STXmedic- your attitude is too abrasive and bullying to anyone else who doesn't share your opinion(whether your opinion is right or wrong...i don't think you really care.Just so long as it is your opinion.) They wouldn't want to continue on this forum.

I think a 12 week paramedic program is overkill. Personally, I think I could get by with a 4 week. But I am totally awesome and on another level So that's how the Premium+Members roll on this forum? Hmm. Perhaps you are Michael Kearney?Graduate at 10yrs old!:wacko:

Umm...Are we still being serious? Since this seems to be an honest question, I'll give it an honest answer. We do this right now. Really, you put patients into chemical comas on scene? I did not know this-is this just USA, or UK to? Pondlife-thankyou for the response, i unfortunately have...

Nothing trollish- just seems i am putting up scenarios and ideas and all i am getting back is short one liners and "join us or get out the way" attitude which to an educated person like me and ex copper makes me wonder what is being hidden by the lack of communication. I mean tell me how long...

Hi Pondlife So SW ambulance don't hire the IHCD FPOS

Robb I guess not- i suppose it is human nature to "will" ones job into a special place where it is difficult and important and special. assess, treat and transport=the basis of the paramedic job, it's not mediocre, negligent or complacent- the fact is that is the simplicity of the job in 3...
