Some comments recently got me wondering if we are taking the "scene safe, BSI" mantra we're all taught from day one too far.
I'm not talking about immediately dangerous to life and health hazards, but lower risk hazards. Every job has risks, and EMS is no exception. However, recent posts have highlighted that some EMS personnel refuse to accept any level of risk.
Where do you draw the line? Do you try to mitigate those risks in any way, or do you wait for someone else to mitigate the risks and bring the patient to you?
Just a reminder to keep it civil please.
