This must be King County Medic One promotional poster.
 
what really grinds my gears, are that providers(especially volunteers) buy crap like this and wear it on t shirts, put stickers on there cars, ect... Then people loop us into this idiotic group of "whackers on roids".

I do not have that shirt. My shirt says "at 70mph" instead of 60mph. Faster is always better :rofl:

46young, out of curiosity where do you work?

Where I work, and from what I understand the rest of the country, oxygen administration is a BLS skill that does not require prompting from ALS. I'm interested in how other states and counties work because I know my department is a little out there considering our size and call volume.

I worked for NS-Lij back in the day. I worked for a little bit in a municipal third service in SC. I'm now a career firefighter/paramedic in VA, with five years OTJ.

In this system, all of our transport units are either medic/EMT or double medic. The BLS typically get vitals on each call, then await direction from the medic as to what else they want done.

My current "favorite" EMS meme is posting some graphic injury-porn style picture and labeling it "educational" to try to keep Facebook from taking it down.
 
JP, maybe we could redesign that fire one I posted above, but for medical students. I bet you would be the coolest one in class!

You don't want a new "blood goes round and round, air goes in and out and any variation is bad" shirt? How about a "Don't do anything you don't want to tell the paramedic" shirt?
 
I wore a t-shirt with this on it to my last day of class.

One of the instructors (a firemedic) thought it was quite funny. The 4 fire guys in my class got really mad and walked out of class. It still makes me lol thinking back to that day.

I like this sentiment...

Ugh...politics...
 
Oh okay. I work nyc. My medics would kill me if I didn't have o2 a presumptive diagnosis on what I thought was going on and have them ready to get to the hospital.

Same for me when I was BLS (46E, 46D, 53Y, 53G, 53J, 54G). You'll find that there are many all-ALS systems throughout the country, where every ambulance has at least one paramedic on it.
