Yea, its usually that easy. I think most places require you to sign a release form and some info. Although I think some places require some HIPAA certification.

Ethanol, I am currently an undergrad and in Medic school, it is possible, but you have to make a good deal of sacrifices. If you are really into it, go for it...It is very, very rewarding. You might not get a chance for too much Ethanol tho, as most of the "catching up" in terms of clinicals...

Along the same lines of what you said about "book knowledge" ridryder... There seems to be this weird view in EMS, and I have heard this many times is that "The best medics aren't those that get As in class." And this is echoed over and over... Yes, this may be true, but the opposite is...

Did the babies have newborns on their laps too?

Kudos to the older (I am guessing 17-18yo) kids in the car for letting the drunk drive [assuming they all weren't drunk]....

I found the comments on the article page interesting to read, we got the whole area of views from those reading the article. Of note are the uninformed public who are "shocked!" to hear this, and demand justice! And those that are more logical and know this stuff happens very rarely in all areas...

Every EMT or Medic to be should read this thread...excellent advice/words of wisdom...

Hmm...This is what I was advocating too. What is the debate then, we both agree on this matter, what is the disagreement then with the previous statements from Stevo and me? Agreed with you on this from the start...

I believe you completely missed what I (and Stevo I assume) was trying to say. We were emphasizing that Context be taken into consideration when laws are enforced. I agree the situation that started this topic here is a no brainer, HE BROKE THE LAW, and it was EXCESSIVE. I can't imagive...

I wasn't refering really to the scenario at hand, I was making a general statement of taking context into consideration when writing a ticket...

amen to that... I have NO problem with police writing tickets/enforcing rules that they expect most to abide by (including themselves). But for chickens*** tickets like "rolling" through a sign (I am not referring to going through at 10 or 15mph) give me a break... I wish police would enfore...

I agree with you on most accounts, Rid. I think the problem is, it is pushed into High School in most areas, advertised, if you will. There was a commercial out (MN I think) recruiting EMTs, what did they have? Blazing lights/sirens, high speed, the jaded/cool medic who roamed the streets saving...

Unless they are very obese, and it always seems the ones who need EJ's are the ones who are > 60 tons... And on that note, any tips on getting EJ's on the larger pt's??

Who called you a liberal? I remember we had a discussion a long time ago on another topic, and you had some very non-liberal views... I don't see the US as a beacon of Democracy, but it is not a police state. You use terms like "fascist" "police state" and "robbing us of all freedom" freely...

http://www.madison.com/wsj/home/local/index.php?ntid=110529&ntpid=3 god, I love blowhard liberals...

heh...damn Stevo, a bit harsh... I am not sure Rid meant it just like that... But what you say is somewhat true...

I agreed that laws such as making murder illegal or putting up a speed limit will not deter terrorists in the same way as it might others, as you also stated. Thats why there were more extensive actions made to be proactive to get to the terrorists and put an end to a plan before it started...

haha...oh, just the whole arguments over government structure/policy and such...yes, I guess it is a bit pointless, but it is interesting to have some political/philosop. discussions every now and then, develops ability to debate and think critically...

Yes, I missed the 60's by about two decades, just to clarify, all what is B.S.?

First, I am sure everyone would agree that we have flaws in the system, no one has hinted that the system is in any way perfect... Your argument is in some part, true but you bring up some points that miss the idea of a "law". If someone really wants to do something, yes they will go ahead and...
