There is an ongoing investigation of two instructors in Massachusetts for possibly falsifying training records for EMTs. Initially they say they did it because the candidates didn't have enough time or money for the courses. Who knows if that is true but the report shows the two faked records for 213 emergency medics, from basic level to advanced paramedic. The response has been dramatic with a whole lot of suspensions and firings going on. The first thing to come to mind when I heard this was that popular TV commercial. I can visual someone intubating a person in the field and a family member thanking him when he responds, "I'm not an EMT but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn last night".
