I don't ever see fire reporting going to it, at this point, BUT we just had a
suppression deputy chief promotion this week; remember Capt. Harry White that
used to be at 12's.  He got promoted this week.  The troops are ecstatic but
the fire suppression chiefs are p*ssed off.  GOFIGURE!!  The man has got a
phD, I believe along with other various assorted degrees.  He is finally
going to get his chance.  I can't wait!  Accountability is a new concept for
them.<G>
Read my post concerning 'risks vs. benefits' of stopping at a scene. I think
that pretty much sums up my philosophy on the thread.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Mark (By the way, a very noble name! <G>)
What seems to be the problem with this whole NR thing is not the NR in
general, but the attitude of NR and non-NR folks.
I'm an NREMT-B and I have a whole 3 months experience.  If you think
for one minute that I would stop (even if it was possible - which it
most certainly is NOT) and take command of a scene because I have a
"higher level of training" (Which is questionable depending on the
individual) You're insane.
What the other party MAY HAVE BEEN referring to is the responsibility
to the pt and avoiding abandonment.  If I was to stop for an accident,
it is my understanding that I can only turn responsibility over to
someone who has my level of training or higher.  Consequently if the FD
arrives and they are trained as first responders (hey, I live in the
sticks - mostly volunteer and not much formal training for FD), I could
not leave the scene until EMS or another EMT arrived.  In that
particular case, It would be wrong of me to leave even if it meant that
I had to leave my vehicle at the scene and go with the PT if the FD had
to transport.  If, however, the FD came on scene and one of them was an
EMT, that would be that.  I would offer my help and get the heck out of
the way if it was not needed.
The algorythms that NR uses are good; however, you must avoid having
tunnel vision when using them, or any other form of pt/scene assessment.
If folks would put the pt first (Ain't that why we are here to begin
with?!), and leave the attitudes and GOD modes at home, EMS would be a
lot more like EMS is supposed to be.  Sometimes it is almost sickening.
Just my humble, niave, idealistic opinion.........

assistant: Mark, congrats on a well written and GREAT point!! I couldn't agree with you
more.. With 11+ years in FD/EMS (mostly EMS) and haven worked both in NR
states, and non-NR states, I am of the opion that NR by itself does not seem
to make much difference in the training or performance of EMT's.. I have been
NR certified as well as state certified for many years now. And so far the
only thing I've gained out of NR certification is another license to renew
every 2 years.............

Write your reply.

assistant: Well, that isn't necessarily true.  Since you have no toys, you're just
a guy.  They have toys, therefore they beat you.
As an EMT-P, your concept would mean that I would have to go with the
BLS unit for a fractured ankle since they were "just EMT's" and I'm an
EMT-P.   No true.   The assigned responding agency (in PA) has
jurisdiction over the off-duty EMT/EMT-P.
Our county had this discussion with an EMT-P who decided that he wasn't
going to turn over pt care to the EMT's that arrived since he was a
medic and he didn't feel comfortable with the skills/attitude of the
EMT's.   Needless to say, then dude was "cuffed and stuffed", the EMT's
handled the patient, who was a class 3 (minor), and once the pt left in
the ambulance, the Police (and EMT's) dropped charges and cut this guy
loose.  (professional courtesy thing)
Well, he decided to pursue the matter further and all hell broke loose.
The EMT's eventually won and it was noted that the ASSIGNED RESPONDING
AGENCY will take precedence over the off duty EMS provider since the
agency's vehicles are licensed ambulances with equipment, and a POV is
not.

assistant: I guess that we are all a bit proprietary about these things. I think it
comes from experience. I don't know about everyone else here, but I have
had too many helpful bystanders come up and be worse than useless. As a
matter of fact, the only time that I remember them being really helpful
was at a multicar MVA on the highway, where two EMTs from Montreal
stopped before we got there, and had the patients all triaged out for
us. It was interesting, because they both had their uniform jackets in
the car and put them on so that we would know that they were not just
wannabes. Confused the heck out of the FD, especially when I told them
that we had called Montreal for mutual aid because we were so busy.

assistant: That would have been nice. I always enjoy meeting in person people that
I have met on line. I have been having computer problems off and on for
several months. We seem to have finally tracked it down to a flaky CPU.
I had a DX/4-100 and it would work fine in most DOS applications, but I
would get the screwiest errors in Windows. Tried everything, but the
CPU, because we figured it would just plain not run if it were that.
However, we were wrong. Replaced it temporarily with a 33 Mhz chip, and
it runs fine. I've been running the machine for several hours without
one GPF or other message. OTOH, we put the other chip into a different
board in a known good system, and within about 15 minutes, it started
acting up. Going to try to get a new one under warrantee, however, AMD
100 Mhz chips are pretty cheap, so at worst, I will just buy one of
those. All this is buy way of explaining that I have been off and on on
the echoes for a while now. Hopefully, that will all change.
Sure enough. I couldn't remember if you had ever told me that you got
the parts, then again, I might have been off line and missed the
message.
BTW, I always accept patches that are sent. <G>

        I suspect you aren't the only one who feels the same. I once was an
NR EMT and had the opportunity to take the pilot EMTP exam and
declined,because I realized what was coming, more hoops to jump through. The
hyperbole the NR put out back then was
        astounding, and IMHO still is....I just wish the NR would get off
their pedestal.
