I think people mistook this as a troll, but that's my understanding, yes.
Often times an injured person is in the middle of an area where caution is needed when approaching by others; EPs are taught to approach carefully, not run into the area.
- sokoloff 12y agoThere is also a beneficial aspect that a calm approach to and overall appraisal of the scene instills in the responder. "Am I putting myself or anyone else in danger?" "Am I treating the highest priority situation? Helping the most seriously injured person that I am able to help?" "Am I assessing the entire situation, rather than fixating on the first thing that catches my attention?" Running into the scene with adrenaline pumping can be a recipe for starting sub-optimal response (albeit starting it a few seconds earlier)
