the 100% directionless thread

It pretty much is. However your last name is a puzzle on how to spell and pronounce :P

The one with the first name "Justin" right :P



That document by NEXUS is a good read.

Nice, I replied to that post and just checked this thread, nice to know some of you are on there as well.
 
I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore. A good man goes to war on Facebook EMS sites...

I should never have followed that link. Now I'm just going to be in a foul mood for the rest of the day. We're so insulated here on EMTLife with a larger portion of the providers on here than average taking an active interest in EMS research and best practices. My only friends in EMS aren't morons either, so it's frustrating to read this kind of garbage and be slammed back to reality. More than anything else, this is what discourages me about EMS progress or lack thereof. Not only do we fight public perception and professional criticism, but we have a large portion of our own ranks attempting to destroy us from within :( Each person that mentioned how important it was or how grateful they were Patient X was boarded made me die a little bit inside.


It's probably for the best that I don't have a Facebook and can't read more than a few of the comments on there.
 
It's pretty funny. A couple of the people who posted "we don't have x rays" work as BLS in our system.
 
Thanks JP. Starting my day off with a headache now. :( The ignorance and stupidity is rampant.

I chew my tongue to a bloody pulp every time I hear "I don't have x-ray vision," "treat the pt. not the monitor," "BSI scene safe" and other idiotic EMS aphorisms. Stupid cliches are for stupid people.
 
My curiosity is getting the best of me too. Would someone mind posting a recent link with all the comments? I can't see the updated version due to not using Facebook.
 
Wait 'till you have a provider that works for you tell you they think it's stupid you have NEXUS criteria in the protocols becuase "they don't have xray vision".... :ph34r:.

I will backboard this person using perfect NREMT technique. They will stay fully immobilized until they see the light.
 
I think I'm going to have a seizure now.
 
I'm not gonna read any more of that link.

Pretty sure my head is going to explode.
 
JP, please add one more imaginary like to all your posts in that thread from me. Stay strong and sane against the onslaught of ignorance!
 
I caught a little but of that last night. I wonder how some of them will handle it when backboards simply become a tool to move a person from point A to point B.
 
Contemplating buying a crotch rocket in the next month or so...someone talk me out of it.

Been a long time coming...finally can afford it...gonna have to call the insurance agent and get a quote cause there's some clean used ones around...
 
I hereby declare today "Sad Song Saturday."

They call them donor cycles for a reason. Make sure your driver's license says you are an organ donor. You are young enough your organs could save a lot of people.

Aw thanks.

My organs could definitely save a lot of people...except for my liver, they probably don't want that :p
