Full episode up now for Premium members at PracticalEMS.com! Benn Taylor and I review the body cam footage from the unfortunate case in Illinois from last year where the EMS crew has been charged with murder and discuss lessons to be learned from this as well as professionalism in EMS in general.
Check out the episode at the website to see the body cam footage.
How we present ourselves to the public matters. How we treat people matters.
Most of us that have been doing this for any period of time have had those partners that have great bed side manner and treat all people with dignity and respect.
We've also had those partners that are burned out, lack any compassion and have a tendency to escalate every volatile patient encounter.
We all initially got into EMS out of a desire to help and serve other people and when we find ourselves in a mindset that is anything close to what this crew displayed, we must recalibrate.
Always start with the assumption that a patient has as life threat until proven otherwise. When you start by assuming the patient is "not sick" these types of encounters have higher potential of recurring.
