Lately there seems to be a lot of talk about staging for EMS calls. I always ask the question of is it necessary, but it seems everyone blindly stages without a real reason. For instance, a psych call at a nursing home seems a bit ridiculous to me. Or, staging for police on calls where "the calltaker thought they sounded angry or was using foul language". I am in no way saying to take unnecessary risks, but it seems that blind staging without reason is taking over. Please provide your thoughts and reasons behind your rationale.
