We're Here For Mrs. Doe
Excellent written article. May I remind you though, that in a life threatening emergency its quite unfair to assume that an EMTs only tool is the cell phone with which to call 911? I don't need to enumerate the interventions an EMR can make as it seems you are aware of those but it seems you have forgotten your BLS basics in that a well trained EMT is worth their weight in life saving measures regardless if their scope is elementary, as it seems, to you. Anyone can call 911. Anyone can flip burgers. And burger flippers get paid more than most EMTs. So show a little respect for us little people. In a crisis we are watching out for the paramedics or nurses back while helping for the best patient outcome. I feel sorry for any EMT who works with you and all they get to do is call 911, instead of doing what they were trained to do.— January 13, 2012 3:37 p.m.
