All this debate over minutia is interesting but serves little purpose. When the final document is approved it will bare little resemblance to this draft.

Individual comment is fine but when we propose our homegrown standard it must be done professionally. It should originate from a unified coalition of Texas EMS stakeholders. Without an established or mandated standard Texas has the most liberal (see, it isn't a 4-letter word) prehospital practice in the nation at the moment, so it should be Texas taking the lead.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Donn, As I stated in my earlier post we must be the leaders on this train that is coming through. And I agree with you 100% now is the time to unite and come together. We need to send a loud unified message that the bar in Texas is set high for a reason. That reason is patient care. If we send that unified message I believe you are correct in that the rest of the nation will benefit from it.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Mike I think we as EMS should approach each of these organizations and let them know exactly how we in EMS feel about this document and what changes need to be made. If your not a member then now is the time to get involved they can send a strong unified voice to the powers that be to make the change. Instead of typing out messages on this list server we should be typing out letters to these organizations and making your feelings known. The deadline for comments is in January. Lets face it, its coming and we need to make the changes that it needs to allow us to keep our bar where it stands. Lets step up to the plate and be the leaders that we are.
