right or wrong??? there are too many varibles, the thred was refering to a pinch situation so u have to do something for the patient.I don't agree with everything that happened but in a pinch something has to be done,and if u the EMT and the medic are the only ones on the sceen trained in any sort of intervention by all means don't exceed your scope of practice no matter what the patient situation,lets get real we have a job to do. So right or wrong in a pinch u may have to bend alittle!
later,
someone whos ben there point of veiw.
