Why does it matter aside from maybe helping figure out what is wrong with the patient? Forget about how its just wrong to treat someone differently based upon a medical condition, what if they don't know they're carrying some disease. Everyone gets treated the same unless I suspect an infection requiring droplet precautions.

This seems like an obvious one to me, but apparently it needs to be said...
http://www.nfpa.org/assets/files//PDF/CodesStandards/SCBA_Alert_070212.pdf
Exposure to high temperature environments, which
firefighters can encounter during fires they are
attempting to extinguish, can result in the thermal
degradation or melting of a Self- Contained Breathing
Apparatus (SCBA) facepiece lens, resulting in
elimination of the protection meant for the user’s
respiratory system and exposing the user to products
of combustion and super heated air.

http://secondavenuesagas.com/2012/07/11/metro-north-to-test-smartphone-based-paperless-tickets/
Looks like MetroNorth is leading the way with the latest ticketing innovation. Anyone that has tried to purchase a peak ticket at a busy station while rushing to catch a train can attest to the pains of waiting for someone to try and force some crusty bottom of your shoe bill into a machine while you frantically wait. I'm looking forward to this.

PEMO3 how long have you been out of NYC? Since I got on on '06 we've been doing field pronouncements. Pissed off 6'3" 220lb brother screaming you'd better save his life = transport no matter how cold and dead his brother was. I've had very few families get upset and the few that did actually thanked us after calmly explaining what we did, what the hospital would have done, and what they can now do. I am a huge advocate for field termination and that's before you start considering the risks to the crews carry the pt and transporting to the ER. Public places, businesses, or volatile situations get transported. Otherwise we clean up as best we can, inform the family, and leave with PD. You don't need training, just compassion and common sense.
For any doubting the benefits of working arrests in the field, look at the horrible CPR thats performed during packaging and transport. They've already been down for however long it took you to be notified and respond. Add the time you spend for just the initial interventions and medications. In NYC, the average best case scenario for in home cardiac arrest without bystander CPR is 6 to 8 minutes from arrest to first responder. Another 12 to 18 for first round of ALS interventions. Interrupting quality CPR at this point just to get to an ER that will essentially push the same drugs you would isn't helping the patient. Stay, give it your best effort, and ensure quality CPR.
