Never took the time in all my years to ever read and really read the Bible. Currently almost through the Jerusalem Bible Old Testament and almost done with the Prophets. Next up to New Testament. So far amazing and not at all what I was expecting.

@HandtevyMD Dr. Antevy on video loop at our headquarters.

[Peter Antevy @HandtevyMD]

We brought 2 patients to area hospitals today, both AMS and one required chemical sedation.

Both calls run perfectly by our crew.

In the ED, continuous waveform capnography we had placed were pulled off.

Me: Excuse me, where’s your ETCO2?

Respiratory: We don’t do that in the ED.

@Run_Fox_Run As a point of English language and fact, as a paramedic, I drive the ambulance on occasion. Therefore I am, by factual analysis, an ambulance driver. I take no offense at the title. It does not demean me in any way.

@MikeVerkest @md59 @srjattorney @DrJeffJarvis @henrywangmd Speaking as a QI guy... Whole file. Transparent and able to be used for improvement in a just culture manner.

I strongly believe that all managers in a technical area must be technically excellent.

Managers in software must write great software or it’s like being a cavalry captain who can’t ride a horse!

@bamills107SC @hp_ems Eventually... After much gnashing of teeth.

@MedicSBK Same excuses I am given. Don't question EMD. Between using the wrong level of unit based on vague comments unnecessary use of other responders as well that is indicated by the same vague response.
