Guest guest Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I don't understand why, but it is like pulling teeth with a pair of Craftsman pliers. It seems reasonable that crews would make it a priority but they do not. We can put this on the list of things in EMS that baffle us. Henry " E.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Ladies and gentlemen, the answer is easy when you consider that this " male dominated " profession. Even *studying* a map beforehand might go right against the hairy-chested, beer-bellied instinct of the human male. Ask any married woman: " Just how many men actually bother to use a map or (Heaven forbid) even ask for directions when lost " ??? Do I really need to offer the resounding, unanimous answer from the female population? {grin} -------------------------------------------------- Re: Map Study I don't understand why, but it is like pulling teeth with a pair of Craftsman pliers.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 We issue map books to each medic, call-taker and dispatcher. We try include a map page on every call but that is sometimes impossible. Although most addresses are easy to find. When i was a firefighter it was mandatory that we know every street and block number in the city. Then again what if your an EMS company that covers multiples cities.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Henry, The good thing about pulling teeth with a pair of Craftsman pliers is that, if the pliers break, Craftsman (Sears) will replace them for free!
