Message: [QUOTE="PAGS, post: 4486360, member: 761"] People don’t realize that medics are doing the same exact care at the location of the emergency that someone would get at the ER. They follow the exact same ACLS protocols. Same equipment…same meds…same skill set. I’d rather go down in front of a skilled group of medics than a bunch of green ER Resident Docs and some 2nd year nurses. I’ve done hundreds of cardiac arrests and to this day I’ve never had the ER get one back that I couldn’t get back in the field. Also…I teach ACLS…medics know their way more than most of the docs and nurses I’ve taught! And I’m not knocking docs and nurses…but medics have 10 times more experience doing cardiac arrests than any care provider in a hospital. Some super experienced RN’s and Docs out there…but some are questionable. End rant… [/QUOTE]
