The issue is that many emergency physicians just keep their mouths shut rather than have a friendly conversation about patient care. In the end this is supposed to be about the patient and everyone doing the best job they can for the patient. Instead there is silence in order to prevent ruffled feathers and wrathful CEOs.
From "Culture of silence," in ACEP News, June 2013
An emergency physician has written an essay describing what he views as some significant obstacles to giving feedback to EMS crews, and I want to see what sorts of reactions people have to his perspective. Does this strike a chord with folks? What is the "other side" to the discussion?
Keep in mind that this physician is writing about his frustrations in a public venue, knowing he is running the risk of controversy. There are plenty of anonymous places on the web where docs can gripe un-constructively, but he chose to initiate a discussion in plain view. So, try to keep the use of combustion to a minimum!
