It matters a lot when you are in a situation and need to know who you are dealing with. I would hate to be in the field and have to ask, "When you say you are a medic, do you mean a paramedic or an EMT?" to everyone I don't know. It is also a term that implies a certain level of care to the patients, who will not be able to assess if the provider is, "the real thing."1 point

LOL, I didn't really think so either but thought I would throw it out there. Never gave it much thought untile now, but while I was an ECA/EMT - I used those terms and never would have dared to call myself a medic. Even when in school, I would call myself, "future medic". I tried to use the word "medic" once, but it didn't feel comfortable. Cute. I think you and I are on the same side.1 point
