I like specialized kit and vehicles.
I'm struggling on this one. Are they on the moon?
Trying to float on water?

@searchy_boy Adding this to the list of things I never expected to hear in 2020 (I totally agree though, that’s a ridiculous distraction from real needs)

@EM_RESUS Watched someone use colorimetric and then replace it with waveform "after they had confirmed placement" with the inferior method. Very strange approach

English
@EBMgoneWILD ...you could send BLS crews on >80% of these calls. Now you have a pool of ALS medics who can pick up the slack in the hospital, and I’m guessing that a paramedic would probably be more helpful and efficient in the ED or ICU than a dermatologist or other specialized...(continued)

At this point I'm more and more convinced that there needs to be a wholesale change of #EMS. bringing stable nearly asymptomatic patients who are elderly for non-emergent conditions is putting their lives at risk. I'm not saying chest pain or stroke symptoms shouldn't come 1/
