Not sure where you get your information from. I am the Deputy Director of a five county EMS Region that has 9 ambulance service providers, only one of which is fire service based. By my rather small sample population, only about 10 percent are fire service based. Another factor to consider is state funding for augmentation of EMS services. In this state, our augmentation has been cut 10% this year with a potential for more cuts in the near future. Add to this, the current augmentation has not been increased for over 10 years, and EMS Regions in this state (and by extension services provided to manage EMS Systems) is working on about 21 cents to the dollar.

I have long been an advocate of Valium Salt Licks and arial spraying of Versed.

"I did a formal lit research, and could not find it. It might not be scanned. " That is why I was asking if any one had the issue in their attic or something. I get the magazine every month as a courtesy, but I have to subscribe in order to get the back issue. I have no problem subscribing, but I could use the information a bit sooner than later (if you get my meaning).[/font:8243dafbc3]

I looked there already. Thanks for the reply

I'm looking for an article that was published in the June 1998 issue of JEMS. Specifically, I'm interested in the article, "The Truth About ET Tube Movement," by Paul Matera, MD. I have an old, dog eared photo copy of the article, but I need something with pictures and charts that can be read and made sense of. If anyone of you who never throws anything away can help, I would be in your eternal debt (I work in EMS so forget big bucks),
