I often debate with myself if this or the whole fire/EMS argument is the

stupidest of arguments held on lists like this?

Agree Lou! Its nothing more than a pissing contest, when it comes down to it,

it is solely a matter of who can perform and who can't. Red patch or blue when

in the trenches I want a doer not a talker next to me!

“non-medical†as in they can’t, or that they should(n’t) be called a

Yeah.....I think it is stupid....or ignorant, or uninformed, or whatever. we

should all be on the same page. We have the same goals whether  it be Fire

Containment, Law Enforcement, or Emergency Medical Services.....we are all of

the same genre.... why is there such a separation?. But lists like this are a

good place to ask, and get responses.

Well....I was just referring, to what I see as a growing trend..... that if you

are not a Paramedic.....then you are not a " Real Medic " at all. I disagree with

this. On many levels.

I feel that if you nave gone through training, and certified, regardless of

experience, if you are part of the EMS system, you are EMS....period.

Medic.....that should be evaluated by your peers.

I was just saying that I have seen a movement towards EMT-B's that refer to

them, as a whole, as " non-medics " because they are not EMT-P's. it is like the

EMT-B is going the way of the ECA. Not even recognized anymore. Emt-B's ARE

medics. Some more than others, but we are ALL " Medics " .

Thanks for the clarification. I only asked because I, personally, haven’t see

it. I work on an EMT/Paramedic truck and our EMTs (either Basic or

Intermediate) are a crucial part of the team. While I understand that there is

this thing about referring to the lower levels as EMT and the paramedic as

“medic†(as currently seen in a post on another forum), I believe we are all

medical in what we do.

Sure. And in public discussion, it's silly to quibble over semantics, since the

public has not the slightest clue who or what any of us are. Medic, Paramedic,

EMT, ambulance driver... they are all synonymous to the average man/woman/it on

the street. Trying to educate them about the differences is pointless and

futile. Unless it is a focused discussion with the community regarding EMS

itself, requiring such specificity, I don't understand anyone getting worked up

over it. Patients refer to everyone from a CNA to a Phd Nurse Practitioner as a

" nurse " , and few nurses get bent out of shape over it. I certainly don't.

On the other hand, discussion within the profession SHOULD be done with

specificity. If I as a practitioner say I need medics, that does not mean that

just anyone who shows up in an ambulance. It means paramedics. Just as if I

were in the hospital and asked for a doctor, I would be pretty pissed if the

sent me an PhD English professor.

Context is everything.

I TOTALLY concur with this. But I also feel that we are all " Medics " Some with

more ecperience than others..... but all medics. I just find it offensive to

hear an EMT-B called a " non Medic " because they do not yet have a -P after it.

How many times have we heard complaints from (All levels) personnel about being

called " Ambulance Drivers " ? Same thing....
