I normally sit aside and read the forums...
Well, I'll say something about the past experiences. I did a call from a nursing home to the ER, emergency call which was just a minor one. My partner banged out so it was replaced with a paramedic with a flight medic certified. I've never worked with a flight medic before but he sure did know his stuff. I am the EMT. Well, we walked into this hospital (almost outside of Dallas) and the nurses were treating him like nothing because of the "paramedic" patch as well as the blue uniform that we wear. I didn't know what was going on as I was cleaning up the truck while he was trying to give his report...they won't listen to him until he asked if they remember that he brought in a patient in the morning from the helicopter. Boy, that did made them listen. He got pissed off because of the way the nurses as well as the doctors were treating the paramedics AND the EMTs because of their patches and uniforms. When the flight medics are around with those jumpsuits, they listen as if they bow to them.
In religious aspect: doctors are servants of God. If they are just doing it "their way" and being like God to save everybody, something is wrong with the picture...why did they become doctors in the first place? Money OR patient care OR trying to be heroes with pride? Same goes with nurses.
What would our world be without EMTs and medics? Who would clean up the dirty work on the streets? Maybe the orderly attendants (I think that's what they were called in the past of 1950's and 1960's) just pick up injured and dump them in the ER with no treatment...that would give nurses and doctors a lot more work load. They should be GLAD that they have EMTs and medics to do the "pre-hospital care" that takes some of the load off their backs and not bring the dead or near dead to their ER...where is the respect in that? Doctors and nurses need to spend more time in our field.
