Good morning, all! Yesterday at the station, I flipped through a catalog of REALLY generic public education materials. I'm sure you know the ones. They have titles like "The Police And You", "Mindless Obedience Can Be Fun", and "Trust Me, I'm With The Government". They have poor quality drawings, contain no real substantive information, and are sold by the bale to be handed out at public education events. Most people that take them do so just to be polite, or because they are running low on kindling for their fireplace at home. The poor selection of EMS related literature got me thinking that they really need to add some new materials that may be a little more useful in our education efforts. So, without further ado, here are ten suggestions I came up with, in no particular order:
1) A Hangnail Is NOT An Emergency
2) You Can Still Wind Up In Triage, Even If The Ambulance Brings You In
3) Stupid People Should Not Drink
4) Don't Eat That
5) Why Did You Stick That In There?
6) Darwin Was An Optimist
7) There Is Nothing Wrong With You That Losing 200 Pounds Wouldn't Fix
8) Don't Call 911 If You Want Sympathy
9) In Fact, Don't Call 911 At All
10) You Are The Reason I Will Never Let My Daughter Date
