In this episode of Inside EMS, co-hosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson analyze the most popular stories of the week, beginning with an incident in Rochester, New York, where an EMT hit a police officer’s squad car that was parked in the ambulance bay with the rig door, leading to the officer eventually handcuffing the provider.
Our co-hosts then discuss the statement put out by the NAEMSP regarding NREMT’s change to education standards – which is open for public comment until Aug. 17.
The talk then turns to an assault of a paramedic and nurse after a patient was placed in triage at a local hospital. Every EMS organization should be aware of the rise in violence and have a plan in place to keep EMS providers safe on duty.
