Post your favorite piece of EMS dogma.....

I've never actually seen PASGs...
 
<raises hand> I've used PASG/MAST on actual pts. I also have used "reusable" c-collars and bagged conscious pts because CPAP didn't exist.
 
I also have used PASG, philly c collars, a lifepak 5 with paddles and an EOA.

We have CPAP but we are now starting to bag more conscious patients.

It's very hard to treat a tension pneumo or react to a "can't intubate/can't ventilate" using "BLS before ALS".

How about its all medical care, do what's appropriate when it's appropriate to your level.
 
Every patient gets a d-stick

Diesel bouls

ANYTHING involving the words "mechanism of injury" as a justification

"It's just a fever"

The word "paragod"

The idea that medicine is somehow different "in the street"

"Just open the dopamine up till you get a pressure"

Using succinylcholine for its short half life

The idea that sick kids don't need IVs

And about 100 more....
