Why am I the one being flamed?

[Guest guest]

Louis,

Why am I the one being flamed? We were having a great discussion about treating

a HF exposure. Then this guy who refers to himself as flightmedic1 makes a

statement:

" but if you had a FLIGHT CREW a cental line would be placed and the patient

mght

survive "

He did not sign his post. Every flight medic that I know would not have made a

hit and run statement like that. I responded to his post. I was not attempting

to start a us vs them kerfuffle or degenerate the EMS profession.

I noticed that both you and Larry quoted me but failed to refer to any of my

previous posts which were an actual discussion of HF exposure.

I am not going to apologize for my post in response to flightmedic1. I do not

think I was out of line. I read the list frequently but make very few posts in

fear of being called stupid if I ask a dumb question or not answer something

entirely correct. I doubt if I will make any future posts on this list even if I

know an answer to someone's question. I like to think that I may contribute to a

discussion but I guess I am wrong.

Kelley,

You are right on. It was an attack and it was unnecessary. And I thought

your answer appropriate. Now Louis. Go back to your corner.

Thanks

Tom
