Kinda interesting, I just got back from our monthly meeting. It was a real big mistake for me to read your post out loud for our round table discusion.
Let me say this as nice as I can---ahhhh they were not real nice at all. Most wonderd why if someone had made coments, the cops did not escort the bystanders away. The EMS workers need no distractions when doing their job as rules say they are to do it.
Those rules change almost every day it seems, and often upset us to say the least. Some how we are expected to understand, and recalabrate our brains, as if we have nop other jobs.
To be fair, unless a person is at the scene, I should reserve coment at all. There are reasons sometimes that we are unaware of, and usualy shaped by attorneys. Often on the scene priorities are made because they have too. That isn't always reflected in the reports and documantations. Our crew runs short very often, and there is no time to document, and often a fireman is asked to do the documantations. Our scene often is not the same as if the patient is in a hospital with lots of help, not to mention a solid floor under the patient to roll the cart on.
Again, my intentions are not to insult, but times change protacals, and we can only hope it is for the best.
Our job is not to save lives, it is to protect us from attorneys and law suits, and also satisfy the state experts.
Years ago it was utmost important to load and run--not nowdays. Each ambulance probably has more stuff onboard now than the average hospital did years ago.
If I had to start training tomorrow, I would never in a million years tackle the requirments even in the entry stage. I think I heard 90 some hrs not including ride alongs, and praticals. That is just the first foot in the door training before you test out.
Training is good if it is with in reason of our yearly demands. Surprises come however, for instance removing someone from a grain bin. There is little doubt in my mind we would have killed ever person we tried to help. And I can not think of a farmer who would not kill the person he was trying to help.
By the way, I'm the one who shot my mouth off saying we did not need to spend the money to train on grain bins. I'm still greatful to have learned the proper way. I thought I knew everything about the subject.

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
