Worked 5 years as an EMT, onto Per Diem status now. Thought about becoming a medic as a career but the liability is far too high, risks too high and compensation too low. Had to deal with exactly what you talk about above - false or missing data on a run report (even if unintentional) at the very least could mean losing your certs, at the worst could mean losing your assets like your house and garnished wages from losing a negligence claim.
I agree with you. It's tough to sympathize for people complaining about getting fined and the possible outcomes of steep fines. Don't break the rules, and you won't have to worry too much. To reword an old corny phrase, "Don't do the crime, if you can't pay the fine."
Just in other businesses, the crooks ruin it for everyone else.
