There have been a lot of changes in EMS over the years that I have chronicled. New meds, new equipment, new procedures, new trends, etc. One distinct change is the patient or their family’s level of suspicion over giving out their information. Name, date of birth and social security number. We try to get this information from each of our patients. We provide life-saving care (and band-aid and hand holding care) and we get patient demographics.
