The current plan is a horrendous mess of such epic proportions that it's nigh unimaginable. Emotional reasons based on the fact that many people do not have health insurance are illogical and prone to premature decisions.

Two more of me; failing that, two rich, generous people who will buy my lunch every day.

Excellent post. I know some areas which have used it and loved it, and its ability to outperform a human is indeed very striking. I got to try the Autopulse once and was very impressed.

Good. I don't want people who don't care about patient care caring for me. (Yes, I liked saying care so much.)

Well, there is the part that it is unappealing in the extreme, serving as a miserable pile or excrement to the general population. It may actively defecate on EMS, but it vomits cliches and trite storylines upon the non-EMS viewers.

Here are some easy links. I'm going to post some interesting links which are easy and quick to look at. A nice chart with the timeline for changes: http://www.nasemso.org/EMSEducationImplementationPlanning/Timeline20080523.pdf.pdf Implementing the National EMS Education Agenda-Facebook...

McDonald's food does taste pretty bad, though. But they have good sundaes. I really don't know how this is related. :P

That's the sort of thinking we need to advance pre-hospital healthcare. All EMTs should be keeping up-to-date on these changes, and especially ones that are in less active or less caring systems. Our volunteer members should also be pushing within their own organizations to make sure that...

:lol: You'll need to spend a lot of time praying in some places.

Yes. Many people, especially in some stagnant areas, are not ready for some of the proposed changes. Please also read this: http://www.emsresponder.com/print/EMS-Magazine/Getting-Down-to-Details/1$10581 I know many volunteer "instructors" who have no background in collegiate-level sciences...

The show was a steaming pile of mindless drivel dripping and dropping slowly into the inspissated insides of modern melodrama.

They forgot to send me my hire letter. I sent them a letter thanking them for their time, and the next day I got a call from Portland informing me that I should have had an offer letter a long time ago, and that my orientation started in a couple days. First impressions, you know... I...

Yes He was a jerk.

When I was once been in a similar situation, I just gave a quick and accurate summary of events and then *poof* was completely gone.

No. No.

Now there's an idea...wish I'd thought of this...B)

I carry a big stick to whack fools with in my front passenger seat.

:lol:

Less than a whacker...very true given what was said. I believe the chief was driving. They received a warning and had to switch drivers, but I don't think anything else came from it. I know that some of the members later posted pictures of it on Facebook because they thought it was fun. I...

Res-Q, you reminded me... I have worked in volunteer systems and in paid, so I don't bash either, although I do call a spade a spade, and I've seen stuff that was stupid in both, albeit with a higher prevalence in the volunteer ones with which I've been associated. In any case, funny comment...
