I don't post on this forum near as much as I did when we actually has a few regulars who enjoyed discussing medicine rather than trash in a personal bag. Now this forum is about how marijuana users, heorin addicts, convicted felons or whatever can get an EMT license and you leading the way as their advocate and number one fan.
Do you think I am insulted by this?
Don't most medical providers say they want to help people? Especially in EMS that doesn't always mean medical intervention.
I seriously doubt from your posts you can discuss medicine in anyway other than blindly citing the rules you follow because you have simply mastered a particular system and have been exposed to more knowledge than you can apply. You even have to change others statements so you can just spout the same ingenious positions. I think you are a fraud and your crusade for more education is just so you can come here and make yourself feel superior to the EMS folks because you have a few more arrows in your healthcare decision tree than they do.
A true professional, in the opinion of some smarter than me, internalize morals. They do what is best because it is best, not because it is the rule. They also know when and how to deviate.
Rules are tools made for fools. A prescription for people so they do not make the wrong decision from lack of knowledge or logical ability. In US EMS strict rules have to exist, especially considering the current education levels. Those same rules don't even apply to many collegues in other parts of the world.
Did belittling people who came here for help make you feel better about yourself because you have not made the errors they have? Sort of hypocritical from somebody who chastises EMS workers for being callous towards certain populations of patients.
I am fortunate enough to have a broad spectrum of intelligence as well as to be able to empathize with people and see multiple sides of a situation. I have also found that encouraging and empowering people is much more rewarding for everyone than belittling them.
I sincerely like to help and advocate for people. In my mind anyone who seeks help is worthy of it, nobody should know the feeling of asking for help and receiving only antipathy. If you find this forum distasteful, I encourage you to move on. But I have a feeling you will miss the forum more than it will miss you.
Fire away your inevitable personal attack, I doubt many will find you credible enough anymore to take much notice. You might also want to thank the forum mods for not strictly enforcing their own rules.
Say what you must to make yourself feel better. But the rate at which you seem to burn bridges you may not find many who you may want to talk with will want to talk to you. I am an observer, not a jury; it looks to me like you are reaping what you have sewn. Good luck in your endeavors.
As for whats in my bag, a notebook, a packet of kleenex, a stethoscope, a couple of pocket guides, a white lab coat, a pen light, trauma shears, and some pens and pencils and whatever book I am studying on a given day. All in seperate pockets.
