Very good points alrite. Definitly under no circumstances should you pretend to be higher trained then you actually are. That is a recipe for disastor. Only provide treatments that you are trained to do.
But this all comes back to PHECC recognition; during the Ambulance Skills course you are trained to do certain things at paramedic level and certain things at emt level. But because PHECC does not recognize your ability to do this, it can be interpreted as acting above the level your trained.
Im in the Order of Malta and despite being trained to a much higher level through the DF medical school, im still only regarded as an Occupational First Aider.
