Hey guys. I'm doing a high school grad project and we have to write an essay on a controversial issue that relates to our topic. I would greatly appreciate it if you could give me some potential topics related to Fire or EMS services. Thanks in advance.:)

A controversial topic my service is facing is using the ResQ Pod and obtaining "informed consent" from patients.

Even better - The Zoll AutoPulse... that is a controversy if there ever was one.

Here's one that, despite numerous hours of unified command training, no can seem to figure out: Who has command and control at MCI's; PD, FD, or EMS?

I'm actually going to be writing a persuasive, research-based essay for English class this month. I'm thinking about taking on the AutoPulse debate.

I didn't know there was a debate. Me and everyone I know love the damn thing.
You are joking, right?

Did you catch the dueling articals in JAMA a few months back?

Or if it is Hazmat. Or the patient needs to be extricated from a vehicle.

Or if it is a REALLY nasty DOA.

Or crowd control is needed (it's a wonder what a charged line will do to a crowd that won't move. :ph34r:)

As far as being a high school paper, how about AED's for public use. Supermarkets, malls, or schools etc....what are the repercussions? Is it appropriate? Would it make a difference? What training is provided???
