Signature of Release. In the case of tonight, meaning, I called the ambulance for a really stupid reason, and now don't want to go to the hospital.

Right. We call them "refusals." Sometimes that means the patient refused, sometimes that means the medic refused. YMMV. :rolleyes:

Yes, the patient needs oxygen, so why are you giving the patient less oxygen than what's present in room air?

Our boxes all have vests on them. The call started off fine, just began escalating very quickly. Besides, are you going to put your vest on in the middle of a call? Then what good does it do you.

The problem with that thought process is that the vest doesn't protect you when it's sitting in the rig. If provided, it's probably something that should be worn full time instead of just the calls you think are going to be dangerous.

Agreed, but being the service I used to work for only contracted backup 911 for the FD the majority of my calls were IFT. I usually didn't take the time to grab it and throw it on, I'll definitely rethink that if and when I get on with a full time 911 contracted service.

There's party planners and party goers. I obviously need to stay in the latter category

Why do people in emergency services somehow think that because they voluntarily took on the risks inherent of their voluntarily chosen career, that they should be put on a pedistal?

Why do people in emergency services somehow think that because they don't make the top 10 list for "dangerous jobs" based on fatality, that basing it on fatality is somehow misleading? Do we really want to say, "Hey, look, it's not fair that we don't suck at risk mitigation?"

Is a provider who insists on being placed on a pedestal because they work in emergency services anyway different than uppity physicians who think they are unquestionable simply because they are a physician? If it's widely recognized that physicians who act like that resemble the South-bound end of a North-bound horse, then shouldn't the same be said about emergency providers who think that they need to proclaim how much of a "hero" they are because of the career they choose with their own free will?
 
Because we are special.
