Oh don't get me wrong - medics are great, they have better painkillers than Techs, and can intubate during an arrest. They also can infuse fluids - which can be handy. And of course they have the always useful 'Narcan' (Used to reverse opiod overdose) They also carry drugs to (hopefully) reverse seizures. The other good thing that they can do is stop a resuscitation attempt if it is hopeless, by following our protocols So yes - Medics are good, but in London, where you are normally close to a hospital (and therefore a doctor) then they tend not to need to use their skills that much. But like most things - when you do need a medic, they are bloody handy to have around.
