Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves; vanity, to what we would have others think of us.

Notice to All EMS Personnel

From: Chief of Operations

Subject: Proper Narrative Descriptions

It has come to our attention that many EMS narratives have taken a decidedly creative direction. Effective immediately, all members are to refrain from using slang and abbreviations to describe patients:

* Cardiac patients should not be referred to as suffering from MUH (messed up heart), PBS (pretty bad shape), PCL (pre-code looking) or HIBGIA (had it before, got it again).

* Trauma patients are not CATH (cut all to heck), FDGB (fall down, go boom), or TBC (total body crunch). Similarly, descriptions of a car crash do not have to include phrases like "negative vehicle to vehicle interface" or "terminal deceleration syndrome."

* Hazardous Materials teams are highly trained professionals, not "glow worms."

* Persons with altered mental states as a result of drug use are not considered "pharmaceutically gifted."

* The homeless are not "urban outdoors men."

* And finally, do not refer to recently deceased persons as being "paws up," ART (assuming room temperature), or DRT (dead right there).

I know you will all join me in respecting the diversity of our patients' medical orientations in creating proper narratives and log entries.
