. This I understand, and I fully understand the issues with odors involved with smoking, perfumes, and patient tolerance. Also with increases in breaks and decreases in productivity among smoking employees.... I was addressing the broader question of where do you draw the line? Forget smoking and drinking for a moment. What about other health no no's? No eating red meat? Are you 10 -20lbs overweight? Will the employer give 30-45 minute paid exercise breaks during work time (as it is recommended we all get regular cardiac workouts)? Is everyone forced to drink 8 glasses of water per day? No eating from fast food restaurants? Are you talking on your cell phone too much? Do you live under power lines? Do you use an electric blanket? Too much stress in your life? Drink too much coffee? Eat too much sugar? Are you taking vitamin supplements? Did you eat red M & M's? How involved should your employers be? Is it within legal rights for employers to pick and chose which guidelines to draw from? This kind of action has the potential to set precedents. I know I went a bit extreme. I just wanted to put it out there for discussion. Who defines the line employers can take as to what is detrimental to employees' health (and therefore patient care), and employees living by example?

LOL, just saw this. Didn't know that was a problem in the workplace. Guess it depends where you work. Yep.

What an unattainable goal to set. In every aspect, on every guideline? Doubtful. If they do, I would love to see the hiring guidelines. And how many clinic staff are going to be let go due to these infractions?

AZ, Yummy, and Spenac- I completely agree the hysterical parent is no help whatsoever. Children often take clues on how to react from their parents. However, whether he knows it or not, I do think Dust is capable of a little drama. (Sorry DQ, I do).

Sorry, we are just trying to get down with things. Was this about hijacking threads??? :shock: Proceed.

Hmmm, DQ. I think you may reconsider. I could be wrong, but kids...., always a different ballpark. You tell me in a few years if this is true.

Well, that only gets us into trouble :wink:

LOL that is pretty brief. Helmet? Road paved, dirt, gravel? Is it an extreme incline or difficult location to access? Other vehicles involved? Age of patient? (baseline vitals but that has been already asked)

^^^Thank you Michael. :angel9:

Ok, at the risk of getting trashed and labeled as slow, what is dips? Do you mean "dibs"? Maybe it is a generation gap thing.

It's interesting.... out of all these "bash the whoever" threads, the ALS has the most hits (at least so far).

And this is relevant to the point in some manner? Yes, I would agree with this in certain cases.

Obviously you learned a lot. It shows. Apparently, sometimes more education is not always a positive factor.

Cool Michael, I found this very impressive!!

Do they have to be all three or is just one enough?* Would you listen if they were not obese? *I didn't know if you are grouping narcissists and fascists as one category, as they can be mutually exclusive, so maybe I should say two if that is the case.

This is a great point Dust, and I agree. I used censorship in the wrong capacity, let me clarify. I feel if there is an issue I am interested in, I like to hear as much information as possible. From there, I will form my own opinion. I see no logic in boycotting a possible source of information because I don't like them or their reputation. I think this can set a self imposed censorship, that is, one that hinders the ability of forming an individual, objective opinion. I should have used better terminology.

=D>

Ok, touche. No, I don't. Sorry, don't want to go see "Girls Gone Wild 2, 3, or 4.." (And whatever you hear or see, that was not me in any of those scenes...)And yes, I guess I am cheap, as I rely on you and EMT City for thrills. You have never let me down before.
