Haha, much love for my neighbors to the south lol (lee county). Ty for the info, forgot to add the CAD thing but we are looking that direction as well. Who has control of your Data, in other words do you all warehouse the data or do they require that they do?

Hi all, I am not a typical person whom posts on the site however, I find the site useful and well put together. The third services EMS dept I work for is in the process of looking at and purchasing a new electronic pcr program for our toughbook 19s'. We run an average of 30,000 a year and are a large data collector for the state in which I work. My question to you all is what ePcr do you use, Do you like it, Would you recomend, What would you change, Pros and Cons to your program etc. I am interested in any input. ty for your time

thanks for the responses.

Question? As a newer medic I have always been told that after giving D50 25gms to a pt with low BG i.e 65 or lower do we suggest protein( peanut butter sandwhich) intake. I am having a hard time finding accurate info online. If anyone could assit me that would be great thanks.

(accept)=not except

WOW I said my opinions. We are all on the same team here. They way I feel about this topic has been said. And I hope you except them no matter what your feelings on the topic are. I dont mean to piss anyone off. These are just opinions.

i never said anything about lowering there standards. And I say again for the 3rd time that if they are good medics and know there stuff and are qualified there shouldn't be a degree requirement. I think a lot of you are not really understanding what i am trying to say. Education is a good thing. But for the money medics are making now. Saying they don't get a pay raise for there education requirements it would be pointless to have a 2yr degree or more. (related to the EMS field) Rid I think that you are right on the ball with your comments. I do encourage raising the bar. I'm sorry if i am sending the wrong message just my OPINIONS

i don't know about how long your medic school is but mine is at least 1500hrs of class time. You obviously didn't read my post very well. I said it was just my opinion not necessarily yours. And when you say it opens doors by having a degree, this means everyone will have to have thereby not accomplishing anything at all. Correct me if i missed anything but if everyone has the same education what kind of doors will be opened. Again I repeat what I said earlier. I'm all for getting a education. I plan on going to get at least an AA or AS when I'm done with medic school. Also why try to make it so hard to become a medic. When there are always shortages (at least where I live). As long as there good medics and understand the human body and the drugs they give and they pass there examination. Bring them on.

I don't think it should be mandatory. I know a lot of medics who do not have a AA or AS that know a whole lot more than the ones that do. That is also the same with most jobs though. Not saying that it is always true. I just don't think because you have a piece of paper says you have an AA or AS makes you a better medic. I personally plan on getting my AA or AS after I finish medic school. It opens a lot more doors but it does not mean I will be a better medic. ( just my opinion not necessarily yours)

pros The rebel flag's modern association with white supremacists makes it a flashpoint for racial confrontation. Many support the viewpoint of the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People, who hold that it is unreasonable to ask African Americans not to react to someone wearing the rebel flag. To ask black people to respect a flag that was flown by a group whose political priority was their desire to totally subjugate and dehumanise them is unreasonable. What is the positive contribution of this symbol? Why should the Confederate flag be regarded any differently from the swastika? Those who fly it are proclaiming their support for racist principles that belong in the past. Indeed the Confederate flag did not enjoy renewed popularity until the civil rights era of the 1960s, when it became a symbol of opposition to the movement. Schools should be able to outlaw this flag just as they might ban gang colours or miniskirts: all are disruptive to the school learning environment. The mass production of clothing aimed at the student market by companies like Dixie Outfitters exploits bad feelings amongst ethnic groups and encourages clashes between them. Those who wish to flaunt the Confederate flag in public are backward-looking, rejecting the diversity and dynamism of the “new South†that has developed since the civil rights era. By persistently promoting a divisive symbol, they undermine continuing efforts at integration and generate negative views of the South in the rest of the nation and internationally, reducing investment and prosperity. cons This is an issue of freedom of speech. First Amendment rights are being trampled in the name of political correctness - hence American Civil Liberties Union opposition to banning plans. It is especially unreasonable when other flags - those of Iraq or Palestine, for example, highly contentious symbols themselves - are not subject to such bans. Furthermore, slaves were brought to the USA on ships sailing under the Stars and Stripes - there is no suggestion that that should be banned; rather, in many states the national flag is present by statutory requirement in every public building. In a nation that encourages minorities to celebrate their own cultures more and more, to demand a cessation of such celebration regarding the culture of the South (of which this is the most vivid symbol) is little short of perverse. The Confederate flag forms a significant element of several state flags, Georgia’s being a prominent example. As such it means more than Confederacy of the past - it also means pride in the south of the present. Slavery ended nearly 150 years ago; the flag means something very different to the people that proudly display it now. A comparison with Nazism is both repulsive and unfair. This is very different from the other ‘disruptive’ influences identified here. They have no positive contribution. On the other hand, pride in one’s region is a legitimate, even laudable passion. This is an attempt to refute Southern heritage; it shouldn’t be allowed in schools or anywhere else. In 1969 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District that school officials could not prohibit students from wearing black armbands to protest the Vietnam War - why can’t students show their support for their home? It is discriminatory to ban Confederate symbols because they do not fit in with some people’s views of what the South should be like. Southerners who respect their Confederate heritage and wish to preserve traditional ways are now an embattled group, assaulted by politically correct liberals and others who want to publicise their own minority rights agenda. If we value diversity and respect each other’s cultures, why should that of the old South be uniquely singled out for attack? If others did not claim to be offended by traditional symbols, then there would be no negative publicity. found this on a website

Personally I think if you want display your heritage in a non discriminant way (to some people) You might has well just use the state you were born in or live in. Be more specific. to some people that flag just has to much hatred involved with it.

i wanna know who said he wasn't lol
