Re: Re: Your a what? A Medic?

One other piece of history on this...about 1 to 2 years ago, the

American Ambulance Association (AAA) adopted a position to refer to all

EMS and/or ambulance personnel as " medics " regardless of their

certification. This was done to standardize what people were called

across the nation.

It was felt, I believe, that this would give a name to whoever was in

the news story or government report, without offending like some names

do (ambulance driver, cot jockey, etc).
