Now they need a write an Extraordinary Circumstances protocol to cover something like this in the future.

Yeah, from where I'm looking, they've pretty much telegraphed that as long as things work out, you're good. A severe penalty for something like this one off, once in a career call would definitely not be called for, not even something to make an example out of them. But an earnest cautionary statement at least would have been reasonable.

Titles do very much matter in the realm of EMS. For example as a paramedic, I am not legally allowed to intubate a pediatric patient in my state or county. However once I clock in as a flight paramedic, which is just a paramedic with more education, I can now intubate a pediatric patient and it is approved by the state and county. So in this case pediatric intubate is listed as a paramedic skill however it is only authorized for flight medics.

What state prohibits a paramedic from performing pediatric intubations?
