It's unfair to judge any group of people as stupid or wrong when they are only doing what they are taught by a higher medical authority, or by the course curriculum that is designed by more educated people. When they don't know better, and are taught the incorrect practices by more educated people, they can't be faulted for following their training.
Last two sentences.Should there be limitations put to entering into EMS training? Sure, by the means of increasing standards. Require more prerequisites prior to admission. Raise the standard of teaching and make the class work more in depth, instead of teaching the material as superficially as possible. Make it more difficult to get in and get through and you'll significantly decrease the number of people wanting to be EMTs, and increase the competency of providers.
