Great article!!!! People on here (as well as other EMS boards, Fire boards, and every other board you can think of) make uneducated opinions based on limited information aka arm chair quarter backing. The Curtis Mitchel incident was an EXCELLENT example of this, and it happened on this forum too.

we can all comment on a news article, which we know is always 100% accurate and always includes all the information to make an informed decision. But when we make judgements on people, without every actually being in their situations, in their response area, working in their agency, we don't know what their situations were, that is when ignorance shows, and that is exactly what the author is talking about.

but opinions are like :censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored:s, everyone has one, and some of them stink

You mean assuming that if it's too dangerous for the crew to walk to the patient, then it's too dangerous for the patient to leave safety and walk to the crew? Yea, I'll stand by that judgment. That third crew can't have it both ways. Either it's too dangerous to walk, or it isn't.

One man's opinion..that's all this amounts to be. He's stating his thoughts, beliefs and ideals about what interests him, in the way it interests him. Unless readers have all of the facts he/she can only form thier own (ideals/opinions) based on what information is made available. In otherwords; this man has done exactly what he's preaching against...IMHO.

I think that was the point, to provide a counter opinion just to show that the ones we have aren't the only ones and some MAY be more right...
