That's a good point about diagnostic mode. The LP10 in monitor mode sometimes shows false ST elevation or depression.
Thanks for that VT example.
I'm not aware of any advantage of MCL1 over V1. My understanding is that MCL1 is primarily an accommodation for a 3-lead monitor to help distinguish VT from SVT with aberrancy and, less importantly, left from right BBB.
I think the fire services are way ahead of EMS when it comes to perceived traditions, e.g. brotherhood, community service, discipline, etc. I'm raising this not because it qualifies fire departments to manage EMS, but because it might help to expl...
I share your frustration. At least we get updated on a new paradigm every five years.
Jolie, are you in the Nashville area? I work at Opryland. We don't transport -- NFD does that for us.
I'd guess other companies in the entertainment business (e.g. Disney, Six Flags) operate similarly.
Not sure what you mean by "comparing your temperature with pt." If you mean putting one hand on your forehead and the other on the patient's...well, I think that has entertainment value only.
We use cheap, disposable, plastic thermometers in the ...
Maybe everyone just moves to another room? Or maybe the provider spends a few minutes with the family at the deceased's side before departing? With flexibility on both sides, I have to believe there's room for compromise.
To build on comments by Joe and Dr. Ex, I'd like to see EMS view BLS and ALS as a continuum of care, rather than as separate disciplines.

My name's Jason Friesen and I'm writing an article for JEMS in which I think one of your past articles "By the numbers" could prove a valuable resource. Problem is: I can't find it anywhere online. I was wondering if perhaps you might have a .pdf version of it you'd be willing to share. If not, perhaps you may have some other ideas.
I appreciate your time (and your article "Provocative Protocols" which has become an invaluable teaching tool for my paramedic students.")
Best Regards,
Jason Friesen
