OK guy's I wasn't going to post on this one.. have been following it for awhile and reading all the responses to this... and you know All I have seen so far is a bunch of Medic's out here pissing on EMT"s and the few EMT's that have responded have been shredded to pieces on here.... Now correct me if I'm wrong.... But wasn't this suppose to be a posting about EMT's that have problems with Paramedic???????
Yea I think is was not Paramedic's that have problems with EMT"s... And you know reading some of these posting from some of the medic's out there... you guy's really scare me if that how you treat your EMT's... I have know some great EMT over my career as both an EMT and a Medic... And I have worked with some not so great EMT's too, But If I find a problem with them on a call like not knowing how to do something or doing something incorrect. It has always been a rule of my to try and help them, Of course saying that If they do something that I think is not in the best interest of the patient at that time I have spoken up on many occasion Said that what they are doing is not right and try to correct it before something bad has happened. Then after the call I will talk the call over with them and give them pointer on where they went wrong or how they can do something better. it the same with some of the EMT's that I have worked with that are going through Medic School any question they might have I try to answer and If I don't have the answer I try to find it for them It"s all part of the learning Process.
And If they want to stay EMT's then so be it.... Don't dis on them for that... And that all I have to say for now take it for what it is worth to you guys....
