Okay, I would like input on a decision I have to make. Our next scheduled EMS class is Pediatric Airway. We just had a very traumatic call with a drowned 3 year old. What do you think.. go ahead with the training while the memory of the call is still fresh or wait until the crew has had a period of assimilation and adjustment?
We are a small rural community and many of us were in on a 6+ hour search for this little tyke, only to find him at the bottom of a pond. Many of our volunteers are still dealing with the fallout from the call.
I'm torn between giving this class (schedule was set last December) because its appropriate to what just happened and putting it off so I don't rub salt in a fresh wound on the volunteers.
What do you think.. what would you want?
