The county I live in requires Medic/Medic for an ALS unit. Do you believe that a Paramedic/Paramedic unit provides higher level of patient care?
Personally I like the idea of Paramedic/Basic. The Paramedic provides ALS services while the EMT does the BLS. I can't think of a single ALS-only call. The Medic/Basic also provies the EMT the ability to learn from the medic, which leads to a more competent crew, and the possibility of an EMT that is more prepared to transition to the ALS role.
What's your take on it?
