Fighting over a patient? First responder vs EMT

[fishyfish]

Okay that's what i'm going to have to do then.

As far as the Canada thing. Mind you own business. I was born in the Alberta providence. Do you want my records?

Fair enough ... Alberta happens to be a province I'm licensed in and there isn't anything called EMT-B ... just sayin'

 

[fishyfish]

There is one providence where the term EMT is legally used

2 actually But not EMT-Basic.

In one of the cities I cover as a paramedic intern we get 3 fire engines and an ambulance on every medical aid

That is ridiculous.

I believe you mean PROVINCE.... And as stated before: a COLLEGE is an advanced education institution, a COLLAGE is a 3rd grade art project.

This is information relevant to the question you asked. "Paramedic" means something very different in Canada compared to what it means in the USA.

Give or take a letter you get the idea.

If I understand correctly EMT is very different to.

Adenosine, Atropine... Give or take a letter
5mg, 0.5mg... Give or take a decimal

Details matter. Just sayin'.

 

[fishyfish]

ratio of 3:20. Yeah they do but not on a forum unless discussing tactical EMS details

What we are talking about is your attitude... Those who are successful in our fields (Fire, EMS) know when to talk, when to listen and are generally well spoken, detail oriented people.

One of the benefits of a forum is the ability to take the time and phrase your thoughts appropriately. If you are having trouble with this, I can only imagine how you handle emergency situations.

.... And I assume "ratio of 3:20" means something in your area, however, I am missing its relevance to anything I said.

3:20, 2:30, details shmeatails.

@Gurby, thank you. I really couldn't figure out what the OP was referencing.

I would give the OP credit for a witty post if I wasn't convinced that this was just another legitimate error.
