I've noticed in some past threads that people have said that one way to make EMS better/more professional then now is to have some sort of national standard/training.
Is this really the best option though? Some might even say a statewide standard is too broad. For example, the way you would handle a call in an urban environment when you have 6 level 1 trauma/stroke/cardiac/peds/chest pain etc centers in a 10 minute radius is totally different then you would handle a call in a rural environment where it is a 45 minute ride to a bandaid stand hospital and 2+ hours to anything more than that
