paramedics and death

So you guys are saying that I can't/shouldn't respond to this thread? Nice to know.

They really need to put an expiration date on this stuff or make it go away all together.

I will cancel my account right away. This doesn't seem to be a very friendly place to visit.

You're more than welcome to respond to old threads if you have something new or constructive to add. As long as it's on topic we don't mind. That's why we don't lock threads after a certain amount of time.

Most of the time though, if a thread has laid dormant without any replies for over five years, it's buried deep under more recent conversations. Resurrecting long dead threads tends to bother some people as it clutters the recent feed with information that is years old.

Hopefully you'll stick around and take a look around the forum a bit more. We're happy to have you here and contributing.
 
And no sense of humor...I mean seriously? I put a smiley face and obviously the next comment was just as fun...

Just giving you a hard time man ;-) no hard feelings.
 
The biggest issue with responding to very old threads is that information can be very dated. Our protocols change every year, so in 5 years a LOT can change. Someone reading the thread may not know that there is a 5 year time difference between the original post and the most current post. If a post is quoted, asking a question about an old post, that poster may not even be a currently-posting member anymore and won't see it.

Just my opinion... nothing to get upset or offended about. Just that a lot can change in the 5 years since the thread was started. Sometimes (not always but sometimes) it's better to start a new thread, maybe putting a link to the old thread in the new post, to discuss a subject.
 
Where I work we call it in on the radio and the hospital will either tell us to work it or stop.
