Re: Solo Safety
by Guest Blogger
Better safe than sorry but I think: It's also about empathy: If I have an 18-year-old girl with a panic attack I'd rather make my horse shit in front of the pharmacy (a saying in our language *lol*) than putting her on a 12-lead. If it's a middle aged woman with palpatations (how do you spell that word?) but a clear, healthy mind it doesn't really matter coz it's unlikely she'd even think about pressing charges agains me (if you can see where I'm comin from). Just the other day my (male) crewmate and I were dealing with a 25-year-old (unusually pretty) girl, a tourist from Denmark, who had been found unconscious in the local church(!) toilet. When we closed the doors of the truck she looked at us as if we were going to rape her any second. Initially she wouldn't even take off her scarf but she was very pale and had a bit of heart history. So what do you do? Obviously we tried to calm her down and to appear as harmless and professional as possible (I succeeded, my crewmate didn't ) yet after she had taken off her coat for BP check she kept holding on to her cloths as if we were gonna steal it or something, it made ME pretty uncomfortable to be honest and I already saw the paper headline infront of me. Not nice.
