    medics with attitudes

    I agree, it's not really about the glory or credit. But again responability is upon everybody. Not just the medics. I would hate to see a good medic loose his lic. or job for a another responder of any type. In my opnion, "What happens on the truck, stays on the truck". Nobodys perfect, we all...

    medics with attitudes

    Ya see, it's comments like this that fuel the EMT vs Paramedic fire. A call is not determined to be yours or mine, its OUR. Sure your in charge, but without EMT's or help in general you aren't gona save chit. Period. But seriously the ER doc gets all the glory. So why are we waisting time...

    I was never exposed to some practical skills in my EMT-B class?

    Holy crap, no long spine board, no hare traction, both of those were on my Kansas Practicals'. We can insert a combi tube here so we covered that, but et-tubes was out mostly cause local protocals won't allow it.

    NRB Flow Rate

    In my opnion they should assume more of it actualy. (the ED) due to the fact patient vitals will and can change in a Heart beat, so to speak. Once I transfer care to the ed, it's now their' patient and my oral report is a STARTING point not the diagnosis and treatment. I get them there ALIVE and...
