Conflict on scene

Practical EMS

Confidence in EMS:

Nate talks about how he was reaffirmed when learning ALS meds and a physician agreed with his treatment plan.

School does not make you confident.

As a provider, give the crews feedback because it helps them grow and confirm their plans and treatments were accurate. Don’t just give negative feedback.

Some students do need an extra push to make them uncomfortable enough to progress or realize how far they still must go. They need to develop critical thinking for when they have no safety net.

Running calls when you don’t agree with the other responders/providers:

Be blunt when you believe a treatment can be negligent. You must advocate for your patient even when this means confrontation.

Certain treatments have the potential to harm. Aggressive treatment is not always needed.

State where you stand when you disagree.

It can be difficult to broaden the differential when another provider is totally fixated on the initial impression.

We need to approach as a team. Have discussions. Be willing to consider your rationale for why you believe what is the right treatment path.
