Jeff - - - this is just semantics, but you wrote & underlined Health Care yet gave the definition for Medical Care. But a lot of people seem to use the two phrases interchangably. Health Care = providing for the health of a population, such as you…

I believe that EMS falls into both categories. -Health Care: We provide medical treatment to patient's in need of EMS care. -Public Safety: Every ambulance service that I have seen, promotes public safety, especially during EMS week in May. Commun…

After many hours of discussing this topic, I'm firmly convinced that it really doesn't matter. We are either (a) health care workers who operate in a public safety environment, or (b) public safety workers who deliver health care. It's a distinction…

Mostly because I remember reading an article about a scientist at Dartmouth college who died after simply a few drops of a mercury compound got her glove. You can read about it here: http://offices.colgate.edu/chemmgt/dartmouthresearcher.htm

The cynic in me wants to say that E.M.S. is whatever the person who is arguing their position wants it to be at the moment. In other words if you want to argue that it is public safety, it is public safety. If you want to say it is health care, it i…

Joe, I doubt that you can even define "the leadership of the fire service", so I question your qualifications to comment on what "they" may or may not believe or espouse. I flatly call B.S. on your comparison of two different fixed health care facil…

Joe P. replied to Nicole Moyer's discussion 'EMS- Healthcare or Public Safety?'
I'll accept EMS based fire suppression as being "all hazards" when the majority of them start trying to merge with police departments. Last time I checked, the leadership of the fire service rejected it for many of the same objections that could be…

Ben Waller replied to Nicole Moyer's discussion 'EMS- Healthcare or Public Safety?'
Rob, I couldn't disagree more with you on several counts... 1) EMS history is more closely rooted to the military than in traditional health care, going back to at least to the horse-drawn ambulances in Napolean Bonaparte's army and, viewed from a…

Ben Waller replied to Nicole Moyer's discussion 'EMS- Healthcare or Public Safety?'
Skip is right on all three counts... EMS has a unique mission, we're a blend of public safety and health care, and the horse is dead and buried.

What is EMS? Healthcare or Public Safety?

After reading this article I began to wonder what entity EMS really is? Wondering about some other's opinions on this... I have wondered myself--- am I a heathcare worker, as I work with the hospital and take care of patients? or am I a public safety officer as I work along side police and fire departments? It's is definitely a question to be pondered after seeing this article. These are only excerpts but the link to the full article is on the bottom... wondering about some of your opinions...… Continue

For those with a more visual approach to things, here is a link to a page that provides an excellent metaphor for the way homeopathy and other anti-science works. http://www.jakearchibald.co.uk/homeopathy/
