Negative on that my man. We use made up language of EMS people that nobody understands or makes sense and one night when sitting in the bar we were trying to figure out some terms and got just too confused. Somehow in the end we all undertsand each other. With patients we have to speak on baby terms and that's ok becasue if I start using med terminalogy I would just confuse the living hell out of you. Than to the doctors we speak clear, using med terms and in professional manner and have to watch every word since it can make a difference in someones life. So technically we speak 3 different languages... Now I mix my friends from EMS world and preEMS world. Imagine bunch of computer programers and paramedics hanging out trying to talk. Can be pretty funny at times.
