Problems With Implementation
Initially the role of ECA was and to some extent continues to be unwelcome by a number of staff, who believe that working with an ECA would increase the responsibility that they are asked to undertake.

The change merely ensures that the patient is treated 'by a paramedic' with the assistance of an ECA.

Famous quotes containing the words problems with and/or problems:
“In many ways, life becomes simpler [for young adults]. . . . We are expected to solve only a finite number of problems within a limited range of possible solutions. . . . It’s a mental vacation compared with figuring out who we are, what we believe, what we’re going to do with our talents, how we’re going to solve the social problems of the globe . . .and what the perfect way to raise our children will be.”
—Roger Gould (20th century)
“Sustained unemployment not only denies parents the opportunity to meet the food, clothing, and shelter needs of their children but also denies them the sense of adequacy, belonging, and worth which being able to do so provides. This increases the likelihood of family problems and decreases the chances of many children to be adequately prepared for school.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
