Most of you bicker on here like a bunch of children. The term isn't about catching mistakes. It's designed to state how the two should adapt to work together. Example. Working a code or serious trauma. Your a basic. You can intubate (well, they can here) and are capable when it comes to injury management. So while your securing the airway via Adv. Airway technique or what have you, the medic can be doing something more worthwhile to his skill level such as admin the required IV therapy. Basic can be controlling bleeding or continuing to manage airway while the medic monitors cardiac activity or admin's appropriate defib. Think outside the box. This debate is just stupid. Grow up.

202nd Cav Mechanized Infantry Medic, SC N'tl Guard. Work as a firefighter/medic in my regular line of work, just curious if there were any other 68's or corpsman out there as I just now stumbled across this forum.
