Questions for all y'all. I recently completed a PHTLS class (after letting my old cert expire, so I had to do the complete class), and wanted to ask a couple of questions:
1) has anyone actually used the rolled up blanket method to remove someone from a motor vehicle? it seems to work pretty well, but in 20 years I've never seen it done anywhere except in PHTLS class
2) I thought there was a push to de-emphasize C spine issues, but every single patient in the practicals seemed to get a board and collar.
3) what are your thoughts on the alphabet classes? Do they provide useful education, or are they just a money grab by the creating agency?
