Any chance that we can make this required reading for those who write protocols? Pennsylvania went from each county/region having its own protocols to state-wide protocols. The chaotic variation from county to county is gone. The new protocols are a ceiling for the vertically challenged. The protocols appear to be designed to drive medics out of EMS.

| "I do not drive 'red', 'code 3,' 'hot' or whatever you call it, often. However I will do it. My normal decision is based on, "Can I manage this patient without adverse conditions developing?" And after many years (more than 20), I have not had a problem with this approach. For those who do not run priority under any circumstances, just be willing to defend your position in court if you failed to get a patient to a stroke center, or cardiac cath lab, when something could have been done to have a better outcome. You could find yourself on the short end of a negligence suit." — paramedic268 |
