I know that it takes complaints to bring change to an EMS system, but I 
just get tired of the same old complaints.  I also know that these 
complaints are still around is because no one has come up with a 
solution that works for management, i.e. cost effective.
 
I have not been in EMS a long time (3 years).  I have however seen and 
worked for and around systems in two states (AL & OK).  I have 
responded as a volunteer and with a paid service and the complaints 
haven't changed.  I guess some of these problems will not be worked out 
until we can fix some of the other problems first, i.e. poor health 
care system.  
 
I don't know if it is because I am still a little idealistic or 
inexperienced, but we should be able to get these issues resolved and 
move into a better era of EMS.  It seems like some services are more 
concerned with the bottom line than pt care, and it stinks.
 
Maybe once I sew on my blue and gold patch and get some more experience
in this field I can then work on improving the system I work for.  
Hopefully that won't be to long.  I take the paramedic registry on Sept 
19 & 20.
 
Maybe you have some advice or ideas that can help a future green medic.
If so please let me know.  It would be greatly appreciated.
