    Medical transport plane crashes in New Mexico

    ^that's a really good article for local news! But GPS shouldn't have caused this. If you are on the notams, WSMR does this frequently. I'm not a pilot but I receive those and I'm well outside the area. What I don't understand is why an aircraft on VFR with runway in sight does a CFIT d/t GPS...

    Dr Fauci and the Covid research connection

    Even among the more cynical SMEs, including USARMIID folks and cleared former mil BSL3 MD MPH researchers, the opinion is DNI has been posting some straight up misleading and ignorant stuff about biodefense that demonstrates ignorance of the topic and is eerily close to similar FMI (foreign info...

    Appeals court upholds firing of Wash. first responders who refused COVID-19 vaccine

    Your position is that because less than 0.1% of the time, SCOTUS reverses the 9th, the 9th is therefore crazy and wrong and must also be wrong here. That conclusion does not logically follow. What is your basis? That you apparently don't like what they decided? Well, neither did the...

    Appeals court upholds firing of Wash. first responders who refused COVID-19 vaccine

    Did you read: "Key takeaway: IF you get a 9th circuit to SCOTUS, you will win 3 times out of 4" BUT The vast majority of 9th decisions are NOT even appealed to SCOTUS SCOTUS REFUSES to hear the vast majority of the 9th decisions that are appealed! Thus 99.9% of the time, the 9th circuit...

    Appeals court upholds firing of Wash. first responders who refused COVID-19 vaccine

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand you clearly have no clue what you are talking about. That's 80% of the 9th Circuit cases granted certiorari by SCOTUS. Only a fraction of appeals of 9th Circuit decisions are actually granted cert by SCOTUS, and that's from only 1% of 9th Circuit decisions that are...

    Honolulu paramedics fired over vehicle use reinstated after flawed probe

    I'd be annoyed if I was the neighbor and the crew brought the ambo home, then went Code3 from their driveway at 2AM.

    Nursing is no longer considered a professional degree

    Professional does not equal doctoral entry. Dept of Ed does not consider PT to be professional and it requires a doctorate... now... Did Pharmacists and Psychologists only become professionals recently? These didn't used to require doctorates an there are many practicing psychologists...

    Nursing is no longer considered a professional degree

    This is how you get a nursing shortage that will be solved by importing more H1B visa nurses.

    Nursing is no longer considered a professional degree

    Chiropractors and Theology degrees are professional but nursing is not? Despite the DNP, DNAP and PhD tracks? That's ****ing ********. Pharmacy used to be bachelors, then masters, only becoming PharmD in 2000. Clinical Psychology does not necessarily require a PsyD to practice. You can...

    Ky. EMS team under fire for treating man with antivenom

    I get my orders on a recorded line. Didn't call in on that line? Doc-y no talk-y. Call back on the right number.

    Paramedic vs RN

    2 years ago the standards were totally different? C'mon... this forum is on life support so necroposting is part of the new norm. And you can do the same to some random paramedic. And the reasoning is not what you say, that is not because the medic or RN is necessarily the more appropriate...

    Medical jet with six aboard crashes

    It's pretty amazing what air crash investigators can determine from pulverized burned debris. They can tell whether an indicator light was on or off. They can tell whether some types of fire damage occurred before or after the crash.

    Medical jet with six aboard crashes

    My theory is cockpit fire. It is not likely statistically nor is there evidence for it yet, but it would explain what happened.

    Paramedic Program that doesn't require immunizations?

    The Bible is a guide of the soul, not our source for understanding the science of physical healthcare. You could help yourself by really working on your basic education in biology and healthcare here. If you don't open your mind to education on healthcare, you would be a dangerous provider...

    Pittsburgh EMS, FD feud over response times and ‘hostile takeover’

    Where I see FDs hiring single roles, the medics are paid a lot less than the FFs and often with less benefits and few promotional opportunities because it is still all about false fire alarms, hose pulling, fill the boot, and kittens in trees. Hire the single roles so that the real FFs don't...

    Which US Presidential Candidate is More Pro-EMS?

    Nobody said they were a single issue voter on this. It was an interesting question. For example, if a given candidate had previously pushed for mass imported foreign RN/APRN labor as a legislator, that might be a big deal to a RN/APRN considering whether to vote for them as an executive. (For...

    Experience with surface disinfectants in HEMS / FWAA

    Yea I'd talk to the interior companies because at least you need to know the material composition you are trying to clean, then you can consult general charts for chemical compatibility, then a disinfectant vendor will have material specific charts for a given product. Examples...
