-> Would you believe that in most states and in Canada, Emergency
-> Medical Services are not considered "essential" services?  They are
-> "specialized livery services", ie: taxis and buses are livery
-> services.
-> Hospitals, on the other hand, are considered "essential", but only
-> emergency rooms and CCU/ICU.  The rest are not "essential".....
 
I heard that a physician was giving talks at EMS conventions that
paramedics are having no good effect at saving lives, and recommends
that EMTs are all that's needed. Seems we need to go back to the
load'n'go days of the dinosaurs..go figure. I guess that's being
considered non-essential...
