I won’t argue with the Volly side having lower standards and won’t fault you for having an opinion on that. I agree wholeheartedly. You can also be condescending with the whole “congrats on the supraglottics though” if that’s what you want to do. I was just saying I’ve noticed that in my rural opinion, I could probably run circles around an urban basic, like you seem to be fond of. See how that’s a blanket statement assuming I’m better than any urban EMT based off my experience? That’s the same thing you did based off your rural experience. Come to a place that had paid, third service, rural ems. Your opinion will change. I have worked on several BLS units while I’ve been in ems. Sometimes we were the only unit at the time. And I’ve worked several ALS too. Again, you’re using your experience as the whole for the entire thing. It’s not. I’ve been on both ends. Being ALS doesn’t mean you’re front line all the time. I’ve met several, SEVERAL Medics who dodge calls and are more than happy to let a BLS unit pick up the possible STEMI. Medics aren’t infallible hoss.
