Hubby and I had a discussion/debate about doing 30:2 vs just compressions just a couple of days ago. He explained that it was not so much that the 2 breaths in the 30:2 were not doing any good, or even hurting, but that in studies John Q. Idiot was taking up to 2 minutes to perform those two...

Awesome job, you are my hero! I'm such an animal lover, and a huge softie for hurt animals. It's nice to know there are people in EMS that care about the furry critters, too. Glad the little guy recovered so well!

I have much more weighty ethical issues to grapple with in my personal life. For example, do I actually reach my hands out and place them around the neck of my husband's ex-wife who treats their 5yo son like $hit, or do I just fantasize about it in my spare time? :P

Cute! The pup does look a little pissed in the first one. He's like, "WTF? They make me go poop outside, and now they're taking my bone away?!?":P

Was that pun intended, Jon? ;)

I noticed we had a Scrubs theme going on a few days ago....nice :)

And they say pot is a harmless drug :rolleyes:

Way to go! :)

Congrats! :)

I knew there was a reason I liked you! :D Stevo, you've got to be kidding with that calculator. Lets keep this in terms of the medical system, since that is what we're discussing here. Do I really need to whip out all the stats on how much illegals are costing the healthcare system?

Yeah, I'd like to know the answer to that one! My hubby has an ex from hell.....she's truly psychotic and won't stay on her meds.....

TKO, your posts are interesting and thought provoking. It seems there are a lot of benefits to be had from moving to a system like that, but one thing would concern me. I would imagine that instituting federally mandated standards across the board would take control away from the medical...

wow, talk about some bad press for EMS! How sad :(

I was thinking the exact same thing as Stevo on this one. Additionally, you may want to try to get it in the op/ed section of some newspapers across the state to spark a little citizen outrage (that is if the population hasn't become so complacent that they've forgotten what outrage is).

I loved watching Paramedics on TLC, but I never see it anymore. Is it still in the schedule??
