I, unfortunately being one of the otherwise sensible girls who tends to drool over fire fighters, had the unfortunate experience of having to not-so-gently correct one of them on a scene. We were at an MVC and one car had a mother and her 4 children in it. The kids were fine, but she was complaining of neck pain, so a fireman was holding c-spine while she sat on the curb. Just as I was walking up to them, I heard her say "I have to see my kids!" What did this fire fighter do, but allow her to stand and rotate her body (while he "held good traction"). Being a student, I debated for a millisecond about telling him that he was an idiot, decided instead to ask "what the hell are you doing?", take over c-spine and make him run and get the collar for me. Not very professional, but I was pretty shocked at his behavior, as our local fire fighters are all required to have and maintain their EMT-Basic certification, and should know better. Most of the time, our fire department is extremely helpful, but there are those days...
