I know this is getting a long ways down the threads, but as far as spelling, well that isn't my high points in life. Have I misspeled words, heck yes, and probably always. I can't spell simple words, let alone medicines etc. The subject has never been addressed as long as I can remember. If it was a problem, no one on our crew would be so rude as to point it out, we don't play the I'm smarter than you game--it is a cancer in any group--there is no place for it, and will not be tolerated by anyone, regardless who they think they are.
Ever tried to read a doctors writting? They could misspell every word, and no one would know.
I also catch alot of flack about reports not being completed, but no one dare make issue of it, simply because they may be the next one laying on the ground, or their kin folks. Many times it is written on a glove, then transfered when enough help gets there. Everyone in the chain understands certian issues, and we all try to do our best, regardless who rips on us, and that has only happened a few times. A person must forgive a emotional bystander, they are usualy not out there to complain.
We sometime hear of someone making coments about being gung hoe, etc. If it makes someone feel better about themselves, so be it. We have a large turn over, and it is almost imposible to get new staff, and keep them after a few unplesant calls. I don't blame them, we are all different.
We welcome anyone with any training if we need help, but if we have enough of a crew, nurses get in the way. They are good at what they do, but our crew kinda knows what the other one is thinking. Never are we short with anyone, they have good intentions, and we are very greatful. We all try to keep got PR.
There are times when moms, dads, and friends do indeed hinder the patients care, we totaly understand the emotions--we get tears also--. If a mom is going off the deep end, someone must take the time to care for the mom. So to say parents always get to ride along--no not always.
Parents and bystanders don't always give acurate information, perhaps not intentional. Neither does the folks that drink adult beverages. Teenagers often lie about their injuries, as if somehow they will not be in as much trouble if they are not hurt. Teenagers often lie about how many are in the vehickle, seat belts, the old standard--- only a few drinks. Often they lie about who was driving. Seat belt bruses don't lie.
Ever notice how often the same questions are asked? Facts are often important.
At one time we were asked to take a picture of every wrecked vehickle, now that just ticked me off--wasting time. After talking with a doctor, he said sometimes a report may not document a star on the windshield, air bad deployment, and the extent of damage to the auto.
This case could for sure be a bad example of the system (done by a human) but overall most services do a great job, by in my opinion, great folks. And any nurse that wants to tell them they did it wrong -- well lets just say nurses are human also. And if anyone thinks for one moment we don't second guess ourselves, and beat on ourselves---yea it happens often.
While I'm venting, everyone who thinks they do not need a helmet, seat belts, life jackets, and get drunk before they get hurt, etc. Well, why should EMS folks try to save their lives if they do not at least try to take the most basic precaution?
I've got alot to learn as does everyone, but I will guarentee our crew is doing their best despite screw ups that happen on every call.
Someone comented on a EMS person must render aid--that is true, but it sure screws up my dream of my ex-wife riding with her attorney---------Well yea, you guesed the rest.
Our medical director is responsable for every one of us, and we often talk about how he is opening up a broad side to a lawsuit.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: The Saga of Grandpa's Tractor - by The following saga is from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. Someone. The saga starts with the following message: Hey guys I have a decision to make. I know what you all will probably suggest and it will probably agree with me way down inside, but here it is.
