Moral: If you intend to use "Sucs", you'd damned well better be fully ready to intubate at all costs. I don't know all the reasons behind this story. But I do know that the moment the paramedic pushed succinylcholine, he/she was duty-bound to secure that patient's airway, period, end of discussion.

Given the normal MSM accuracy in such matters, I figured I’d better ping an expert to find out the real deal.
