So do I practice bad medicine by following my protocols? I'd love to be able to use my discretion but unfortunately I need my income to pay my bills. So until that changes ill be giving Narcan to every arrest and checking CBGs on everyone even if I don't think it's indicated.
I do not think anyone would argue to ignore your protocols. And as such I do not think following a protocol is considered "practicing bad medicine" when you have no choice in the matter. But making a conscious autonomous decision to do something is a different situation.
Do you know the rational, perchance?
I am assuming because many arrests are related to drug overdoses and Narcan is considered to be harmless.
