EMS Axiom #17: Rule of Armchair Quarterbacking

Within any Emergency Department, there are a number of nurses or doctors who, when taking report on your intoxicated, belligerent, possibly head-injued patient, will sigh dramatically, roll their eyes and ask condescendingly, "Does he even want to be here?" as if you had any choice to leave an impaired and injured patient on the scene.

These are generally the same slimy bastards who will happily tesify against you in court for money, the first time you take their advice and turn out to be wrong.

That is, if they could impress some personal injury lawyer enough with their credentials to get hired as an expert witness.
