Re: Re: Re: 'Cheating' To Get Care
by Jamie@Emergencytech.org
Exactly. The problem can often be that prehospital providers get sucked into a "not my job" kind of attitude because that is often the attitude of more single-goal-minded (does that even make sense?) services like firefighting and law enforcement. The thing is that it is EXACTLY our job. I tell my students that hte job on being an EMS professional boils down to one thing: act as a patient advocate. Cleaning the trucks? Patient advocacy. Calling an APS referral in? Patient advocacy. Covering grandma with a blanket? Patient advocacy. It's sometimes hard to convince our colleagues that our job is much more complicated than lights and sirens and pointy needles.
