TTLWHKR was just telling us his (or her, not sure about that one) observations from what he/she observed.
But I am not bashing the EMS system there, it is just different.
You will see the same thing anywhere you look... Stupid providers who are burned out and/or just don't care and will be lazy. I've seen guys walk pt's to the truck, have pt. climb into truck to lay on backboard and be strapped down.
Blue - Don't know where in Canada (rural/urban) but I've heard of the same happening in extreme rural settings, as the closest EMS is 15-20 minutes or more away. Philly PD does it in the city for GSW's - often if they can't hear the medic unit, the pt. is in the back of the wagon and class I to the closest trauma center.
