Never, ever, let ANYTHING lapse!

Re-read this post and the shortcuts popped out at me. Not sure which one(s) you're using, but be careful as they can give some success which can lead to a false sense of confidence. My cohort used them with some degree of success, but taking notes and highlighting text was the winner for me. As...

T, What I read basically quoted the medics saying they weren't allowed to go inside and the pt had to be brought out to them. There wasn''t any thing specific quoted. I believe this incident was also on Police1.com

I read about it initially on Tactical Sh*t.com

I read about it before it was posted here. The article I read said it was a "local requirement". And most of the requirements, mandates, etc. do come from the group I mentioned.

Congratulations!

Probably some lib-Democrap local ordinance.

Not true necessarily in the ED. Our NPs and PAs hit the high acuities.

Please elucidate. Not sure which way you research comment goes.

Bougie and video or no intubations? That's pretty myopic. A Miller #3 and a stylet for most adults works fine although I'm not against bougie and video.

Yep!

You win the Academy Award for the Most Accurate Assessment of this topic! I couldn't agree with you more. Bravo!

Who's this written to?

See my detailed response to Fireman Mike. I'm not talking purely education.

Thanks for stating the obvious (not being snarky). I am NOT talking about curriculum as an RN and a Paramedic I know this quite well. I am saying OVERALL a medic is as smart due to their autonomy, critical thinking, and diagnostic skills. A nurse, for the most part, couldn't operate...
