See the paramedic. See the paramedic save the patient! See the EMT. See the EMT save the Paramedic's career! It is a team thing!

Paramedics save lives. EMT's save Paramedics.

Absolutely not. The leader needs to be the one to draw out ideas, help get them implemented and NOT be the person who is blindly moving forward to keep up appearances. The best idea to survive may not be the leader's own idea - but the leader needs to recognize and capitlaize on the ideas that will work.

To the open minded individual, you taught so many things in the way you handled this situation.
You most likely earned the lifelong respect of an individual who will go on to help others and most likely save lives. What a sense of accomplishment.

"Humility is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign of wisdom."
Where have I heard that before?

Just a question of curiosity...

You guys remove KED after transfer to the long board?

Absolutely not! Didn't apply KED because we intended to board. We applied the collar while pt was standing and then had pt sit / lie on board on stretcher then strapped him in.
