I want to be able to see stuff. We have short transport times so basically its monitor, iv, fluids.
I want to see crics, and decompressions, and RSI.

The problem is, if you pick a really fun, progressive service... you'll want to move and work there. And you'll HATE going back to the "Vitals, oxygen, monitor, IV, transport" game.

Not 911 medics.
Not true. One of my preceptors in medic school had been a 911 medic his entire career. When asked how often he performed a cric he said he almost got the chance to once, but another medic jumped in and did it.
A few in my class are 911 medics and have yet to cric or RSI.
I have seen several RSIs, but they were all in the ER.

Only one place around here even has those things in their protocols. I want to work there very badly.
Those in charge of my program said if I do well all it would take is a phone call from them and I'm in since they all are/were sups and/or ops manager there.
I was just thinking id have a better chance to see those things if there were transports more than 5min long. But id be trusted more at my service.

Unless you are a complete ****** (which I know you aren't!) it isn't difficult to build a rapport with people.

Wish I was still one of those medics! It is far from a good day when you find out all other airway options have failed and you have no choice but to cric someone. I guess, at least I know I can do it now, for if the day ever comes where the patient actually has a chance of making it.

Agreed. I came close to a cric once, and have been present for the RSI of several patients, but have done neither on my own.
We don't RSI at my current agency.

You aren't the only one.
Hopefully I don't have a hand in your questioning of humanity....
Maybe someone will really kill him/herself now, which is something I don't think anyone here can bear on their conscience. Just because someone is actually foolishly, immature, or whatever you want to call it, doesn't mean you have to instigate anything and do the same back.
