Phonics is great for someone just learning to read, but I would expect a little more from a 'professional'. These boards are not seen by only a few local folks. They are posted all over the world, thanks to the Internet. Every person with a computer can tap into our EMS sites and read what is being written. Please don't misunderstand me and think that I want everyone to talk like a college professor.
ALL opinions are relevant, and worth stating, no matter how controversial.
Everyone has a valid point to make and this is what will make us grow in strength as a group. Professionalism is not just being able to do a job that takes special training such as airway care and hemorrhage control, but being able to represent a profession in a positive light. It means educating yourself so that you can take an equal stand with other medical professionals. Look at what you write before you publish it. The world is looking at your words.
