My Major Caudill Moment

6 comments


It’s a bit surprising to find this in a major EMS publication, especially when I didn’t know about it.

And no, before anyone asks, I don’t think there was any malicious intent on the part of JEMS or Dr. Wesley. I’m kind of flattered, actually.

Still, it would have been nice to know so I could at least brag about it.

    That was very funny. I think it lampoons those medics that feel like they should do nothing because “The hospital is only 10 minutes away” more than it insults you.Keep the faith (In my department, I am known as the “crap magnet” because I tend to get all of the bad calls. However, my crew also had more code saves than any other crew in the department for the years 2007 and 2008.)

    I feel so used. Even a little dirty, after laughing so hard.I wanted to have the original article to refer to as I read. I foolishly skipped down to the journal title, which does exist, and tried to find the study in the pages of <>The Journal of Interventional Cardiology<>. No luck on the article title search, but the issue numbers and page numbers do not even come close. I checked PubMed. Still nothing. I figured an author search might be more productive.I skip back up to the authors’ names and what do I find?<><>Grayson, SK?<><>Mere expletives cannot convey my sense of betrayal.I feel as if I just bought an expensive jackalope hunting suit.On the other hand, if you ever do write this, <>poisoned finger<> literature searches should not be difficult, since your reference would be the only one. Maybe I should check the Saturday Morning Samurai titles, as well.

    Ah, yes. The EMS version of the Isaac Asimov classic “The Endochronic Properties of Resublimated Thiotimoline”
