If you read this piece and it ticks you off, I've accomplished something. We have to take ownership of our profession and our cause. It's always about the patient, but it's about us too... are we taking a cue from Emperor Nero?

Try 45 minutes of it because your partner won't call a DOS when you're 5 minutes or less away from the E.R.

Gallowd humor = Coping mechanism. We fool ourselves into thinking that if you can laugh at it, it can't be that bad. Simple as that.

"Happy sees the benefit". I must say that almost everytime I talk to Justin, he's happy. Except for the times he wasn't. Good analysis as always. Here's anxiously awaiting the future endeavors of the Chronicles of EMS team!

I am sooooo jealous of the lift system!! We would have so many fewer injuries if we were taken care of as well out here. Scoop boards also rock.

Those lifts are real slow and heavy and have to be lifted by hand into transport position where they sit on one side of the vehicle (apparently ambulances in the UK have fallen over cos of the weight!) so you're not missing much!
