I know the classic divisions: techs can assess and consult, MD's and RN's* can diagnose and treat. Techs and nurses' medical treatment (other than basic safety and comfort measures and items outside medicine like mechanical extrication) stems from protocols or standardized procedures written and/or approved by MD's which specify objective findings leading to specific measures, and the qualification to attain before you can do these measures.
In the real world, do you personally feel the use of the word "diagnose" is bad in reference to the acts of evaluation then treatment without getting a case by case real time order from higher medical authority by EMT's of any level?
*"Nusing diagnosis" is a recognized term, has been organized and formalized, and is in use.
