Well I haven't written in quite some time, but think its time to once again share my tales. I should have blogged several shifts over the last few months as some calls just defied the imagination. I so wish I could invest in a lapel camera on my radio strap as some things I just have no words for.
But for now the first thing that comes to mind to get on soapbox about is the upcoming changes to ACLS and what is in the pipeline. Just to state the obvious, no, I am NOT a doctor. But these changes just don't make sense to me. We go to these ACLS recert classes and they hand down what are the new guidelines and there is nothing to back up these new guidelines. Reminds me of the saying, "There's a reason they call it practicing medicine." For anyone in EMS longer than 1 year, think about how many things are different that when you first started. Heck, the new medics coming out now are reciting things that are 180 degrees from what I learned.
Granted, we're all doing the best we can for the patient at any given time, its just so frustrating when "powers that be" make changes that just dont always make sense.
