We'll just say they have very similar personalities, posting styles, and education.

I'm not. That's why I try very hard to improve our profession.

It seems to have hit a sore spot on both sides of the "debate." Believe me, I use that term loosely. For the next episode in Mindless Cretins 'R Us, check out the comments on the IV Cath picture. Comments of "Go Big or Go Home" and drunk punishing outnumber sanity 3:1.

Some of my favorite comments so far...
"Oh and if you go for the A/C first you suck. Go be an RN."
"Go big or go home I am embarrassed to even document a 20"
"IOs are for *****es who can't start IVs."
I can not even fathom how someone can claim to be a medical professional and then brag about purposefully harming patients. Especially on the internet displaying your full name.

I immediately regret this decision. Holy crap. Are there no sane minds...
My thoughts as well. It hurts to read.

My dad is super-concerned that I'll get blacklisted by AMR for what I said.
If I get canned, how does Acadian look on people like me?

Is it sad that reading some of those comments makes me want to start carrying a DNR around?

I've pretty much already decided that if I ever have to call the ambulance for myself I am refusing all medical treatments until I get to the hospital. If they don't let me refuse the treatment, I will have their cert.

Nothing at all about any companies, fire departments or anything, but I am the source of the bonfire on PoF and TMIACITW. The "Paramedics or Ambulance Drivers" thing.
I think it's within policy, and I ran it past a few AMR folks to make sure, but my old man is still hyperconcerned.
