I have come to the conclusion that paramedics should have as standard practice the ability to perform appendectomy. This can be taught in just a matter of a few hours. It is a simple skill that does not require any real education behind it. What say you?
 
This is probably a joke. But uh... Yeah.
 
Oh sweetie. You forgot your meds again, didn't you? :)

Nope. Why shouldn't we. Its just another skill a monkey can do.
 
Maybe we should allow paramedics to do tummy tucks as well, I mean, while you're down there....

Not stirring we need more skills. Plus think how much money we could make. Instead of ambulances we will be called mobile surgical suites.
 
So MSCU ambulances instead of MICUs?

To quote the great Guinness Draft company...

"Brilliant!"
 
what about breast augmentations?
 
I don't think that is possible, simple as it looks like in you tube but only surgeons can do it. Even doctors cannot do it if not trained in surgery. :P
 
I smell what you're cookin'
 
Only if you also take on the liability, post op care and any complications that may arise...... ;)
 
It would be just like narcan. You would do it and them dump them in the lap of a pissed off ER Doc and staff.

Excellent idea!
 
Just stay away from Candy Mountain!
