EMTeach

I am new to this sight and from what I have seen. It seems that there are a few battles of what color patch you wear. I am an EMT-I in UT and the service I work for allows the use of narcan by its very qualified I's. We are lucky that we have a medical director and an AC that believes in our skills and they both are very proactive in getting as much in our box as we can handle. Now on a respectful note I have know some medics that need to go back to EMT-B and I have known some I's 's that shouldn't be allowed to even drive the ambulance or even attempt first-aid. We have rescues that attend to our ALS services when needed but if they are busy we do what is needed for good proper patient care. I guess the point I am trying to make is that no matter what color patch you wear or the education that you have 75% or our calls are BLS calls and we all need to remember if you don't do good basic skills you will never make to advanced care with your patient because they will be dead
