Who wants to sit here and have a pissing match with people about the same stuff over and over again. Im currently pursing my masters in a specialty aspect of medicine and the forum I am on is amazing...why ? Because we push each other to try different things and we can ask for and get amazing advice from the 11,000 or so members instead of it getting derailed by someone with a piss poor attitude. Everyone that is in this particular specialty loves their job and we are always trying to find new and better ways to do it. Do we disagree on certain things, well yea. Not everyone is going to like what you say, but there is an exceptional level of professionalism on that forum that isn't anywhere to be seen here.
Unfortunately, here it's always the same stuff and the same people with the same crappy attitudes, who wants to deal with that ? Not me. It's sad to see this site become a shadow of its former self.

You'd also be pretty upset when an ambulance doesn't show up at your emergency...

- For real?? Those are some prettily brazen statements to make, guy. There's a lot of people who work for them on here and I'm pretty sure they'd disagree with those statements. MLSS is a business and it's run like any other business, to make money. Your comments are just ignorant.

- Honestly, in my opinion we like to have a heads up of whats coming in and if we need to move people in order to open up a bed it's a lot easier to do it before you get there. Calling in a report doesn't necessarily change the treatment, but it can allow us to be a little bit more prepared for what is coming in, regardless of whether the patient is critical or not.

As an ER and ICU nurse, don't bore me with information that does not matter. Most of the time we do not have time to sit by the radio and listen to a 10 min long report when you could have easily condensed the info into literally 2 minutes and a couple of sentences.

I had a patient who coded 2 separate times, the first tim he became bradycardic and then asystolic and was brought back. And then he coded again and had CPR preformed for almost an hour and a half, they did also use a automated compression machine. Long story short, he was crashed down to VA ECMO, required 13 drips, and continuous dialysis for a week or so and he walked out of the hospital a couple weeks later with a fully intact mental status.

- Sorry but I have to respectfully disagree with you..... I started as a CFR at 16, and I saw a lot of really awful stuff. And it taught me a lot about myself, the fragility of life and a host of other things.
Was it difficult to bear witness to that stuff?...Of course, some of what we see and experience are things most people wont ever see or encounter in their life. I agree with the fact that some people may not be able to handle it and they either need to mature or be taught about to deal with that stuff and not compartmentalize it like so many people like to do with the thought that it's the right way to deal with emotionally difficult situations. I think that younger members maybe more at risk for ineffective coping mechanisms because a lot of them (like myself at one point) do not want to seem that they 'can't handle it' or are being 'weak'. We as senior members need to help them out and talk to them about it and let them know that it's ok cry/be upset/ or sad about things. And that these feelings are normal and expressing them is far better than suppressing them.

People died, young kid/adults died. To sit here and have a discussion about, ventilation and whether or not what those good samaritans was right/wrong, good or bad goes beyond words. Those people did what ANY of us in emergency services would do, HELP. Isn't that why we are all in this anyway ? To help people ? You can't fault someone for just trying to help to lives. To even attempt to go into a burning building with out any gear takes more balls than I could ever have, and those people should be given a pat on the back just for trying to get in there to save those people. This discussion makes me sick and im just as guilty to engage in this, nonsense. RIP to the young lives that were lost in this tragic incident.
