Re: Too funny (Part II)

OK...i gotta hop into this. Gary I think you are sure..and you do know why 
this got defensive because when you asked for input on "what to do when 
things go bad", you were doing it from a 'holier than thou' stance.  You see 
expanding scopes as threatening to your 'holier than thou' job and that's 
obvious.  You may disagree but it's obvious that you feel threatened and 
look down on the role of paramedics, perhaps because of something that 
happened when you were a practicing medic?  What happened to the patient in 
all these discussions?  We must do what is best for the patient.  Some 
services may have expanded scopes based on their transport times.  Others 
may have extremely pro-EMS medical directors that allow them to perfom new 
and up to date procedures.  Whatever the case, we're not just rouge medics 
out there slammin drugs that make no sense to us.  Anyone will tell you that 
there is a good amount of education and training that goes into implementing 
a new drug or procedure followed by a regular schedule of continuing 
education.  Does this happen to meet your requirements?  Or shall I give up 
my job and go to RT school to feel important?
