Food for thought.
Pose yourself an EMS question, then try using the "SEARCH" function to MEANINGFULLY find an answer. We have a lot of fun here and that sparks participation, but the "noise to signal ratio" is very high. Telling folks to "use search" (as I have many times) really is not practicable and is very off-putting. Maybe being able to Boolean search under parameters like " 'Ridrider'+'pneumothorax' " might be useful, but presently all you get is the raw party chatter like an unredacted CIA surveilance tape. (Don't ask).
At the least, try it yourself and then see whether we just need to be more patient with every new person, or old person asking an old chestnut.
"Hi Norm!"
"Er, I mean, USE 'SEARCH' ! ".
