medic 928

8) Hello all, New writer, old provider. The best approach is "The [s:183c19fef0]Cowards[/s:183c19fef0] scouts approach" It is safer to run, to run another day. I started medicine, as a Combat Medic (91A), assigned to a scout platoon. although we had the ability to call the wrath of GOD down on our enemy, if found we would surely lose. When I moved to urban EMS I quickly learned that the most precious tool I have in a volatile situation is my mind. I can usually talk myself in or out of any situation. knowing that if it's getting sideways in the bus, I just need to buy time, while my partner calls for the calvary. My humble suggestion is not to look for the reactive solutions to this problem, but a proactive solution like conflict resolution, or crisis intervention training.
