What is considered "proper etiquette" in terms of an EMT-b relinquishing scene control/command if a higher level EMT happens upon the scene? And what is the proper way for the higher level EMT to assume control?
I feel that in non-emergent situations, where the skill level required is at the BLS level, the higher level EMT should assume an observatory, supervisory position, hopefully to offer constructive criticism later.
However, what about in cases that are more urgent, such as, perhaps, respiratory arrest, cardiac arrest, or the like?
Thank you, in advance, for any thoughts.
