We Need Change

So have you read anything about that EMS 2.0? Beep, Beep.  Rats
Don't go that way, too may trucks.  Have you tried that place to eat?
So what's the deal on that EMS thing?  These guys are trying to make things better for us and the patients.  We don't need a another union.  It's not a union.  Siren and lights, pull to the right idiot!  Where'd they say the call was?  Keep going.  OK, so there could be options other than taking patients to the ER.  I'd like to take them to jail.  I'm in. OK command we're two minutes out.  How many helicopters are coming?  Maybe we could be trusted to determine if the patient really needed an ER.  Like when they get that miracle drug D50? Yeah, like that only better.  Better start slowing down.  Not hauling people has to cut down on my paperwork.  It's your turn in back by the way.  Do we have any help coming?  Ten and second due ALS.  We're lookin' at two priority ones.  Split up.  No one riding with him I'm back to help you.  Like that 2.0 thing?  Yeah Cap, just lay the board here and we can use some help rolling him on to it.  Head, right arm and leg, pelvis.  Next time take a plane when you fly.  It's not the flight it's the landing.  Thanks everybody, OK let's go.  Does EMS 2.0 get me out of the nursing homes?  Not entirely. Someone still has to go and assess.  But if the patient slid from her wheelchair to the floor and told you she did maybe she doesn't have bilateral hip fractures just because the CNA says she does.  Helicopter is two minutes they want a report.  SUCTION!  OK, now pass off to fly boys.  Jeez, I can't take you anywhere.  What did you do roll in it?  Somebody has to do your work.  Is that what EMS 2.0 is for?  No the work is still there, we just get choices and so do the patients.  It's kind of anti-dumping.  When you get a say in things usually it works out to everyone's satisfaction.  Hey let's get you clean and go for two brownies with peanut butter icing.  Let's go back to the station and I can show you EMS 2.0 on HappyMedic.com.  I'd be a happy medic if I could have a brownie.  Beep Beep.  Rats.  2.0 here we go!
