[/font:1da00ad9d0] It sounds like you are working with an agency similar to any I have worked with over the past 40 years. A one on one conversation with the person you have a grievance with is the best starting point. If that doesn't work you have other remedies available as well. I'm sure you can cope just remember you can't win a peeing contest with a skunk. Russ FF/EMT

[/font:c32faaeaeb] [/font:c32faaeaeb] My agency requires EVOC to operate emergency apparatus be it recue unit or fire unit. No requirment for upgrade training unless you are involved in a accident. If damage or injury results from crash the accident review board will most definately send you back to 16hrs. EVOC.

[/font:5f2205d181] I'm incline to agree with bandaidpatrol. It has been my experience over the past 40 adult years it is as important to know where you are going, as it is what you are doing. I can remember responding to calls in a hearse with a revolving redlight on roof. I don't think enough can be said about experience in patient skills, assessment, and working as a team player with a partner. A good medic is a result of a competant EMT, which comes with time and experience. This opinion comes from an old cop,ff,emt. mako77
