The problem with EMS is that it embraced the bottom of the barrel.

I happen to like the bottom of the barrel. It's warm and quiet and your voice sounds all echoey when you sing to yourself. It was good enough for Oscar.

:glare: .......................... Im not sure wiping butts is even in their scope of practice... they have to wipe the butt under the direction and supervision of someone with the proper certification. We wouldn't want to give the patient the wrong idea and have them think that an actual nurse is in fact wiping their butt. But if the CNA took an extra course and recieved that certification, they might be able to effectivly do the job and wipe the patients butt adequately.....

I'm not sayin I disagree, in fact I've seen it first hand... Ever heard of the spec in the eye analogy?

...and to clarify something here, one of the recent conversations on Facebook has been about Curt Varone's open question over at Fire Law Blog about whether patients can tape their own treatment. One of the posters on Facebook seriously said that she would contact medical control.
1. Who the hell teaches students that every little issue needs to be ran through medical control?
2. What does it say about a field where even the most minor issues gets punted to someone else? Both in terms of the providers, and the education and leadership that reinforces that mentality?

Won't even comment do to the disrespect and ignorance in CNA training and responsibilities.

I've always found the "Haha, CNAs wipe butts" line to show a profound ignorance of patient care. Imagine if their butts weren't wiped properly. Kinda of an important thing when it comes to things like hygiene.
