The attending ED doc is also on the chopping block, and my partner may be suspended past the point of even being able to attend. Fortunately I’m just a partial victim to this madness.

And I agree with you that 14 IV attempts in the field is way, way too many. We're limited to 2 each, and after that it's either use the IO gun or wait until you get to the ED. If I know I've got crap for access and I'm able to pick it out, I'll use EJ's, and most of the time I can make it work.</></>On the subject of protocols and intervention devices, where I work in NH - at both places, actually - we have CPAP, and I love it because it really does work.
