I'm one of those professionals. ;)

What is with all this EJ stuff. Real medics just get the AC's. I don't need a EJ.

Me Neither got a shotgun in the truck.

Now who would put paramedics on a wheelchair van? makes no sense to me

Personally, I think that EMT-B's are being taught just enough about meds to get themselves into trouble. I think other than 02, they should not be able to touch any other drugs. Too much can go wrong.

Very good points made Ridryder. As far as Basic classes, I think they should just do away with the Basic program all together. I think it is just a waiste of time. I mean if someone is going to be an EMS provider, why not go ahead and be a real provider. Paramedic is the only way to go...
