CleanEMSSO Episode 2: “Consciously Incompetent” The Safe Non-Transport of EMS Patients | In episode two of Standing Orders: The Podcast Dr. Chris Russi, Matt Fults, Brad Buck, JD Graziano, and Dr. Ray Fowler discuss the safe non-transport of the EMS patient. From a life threats approach to non-transport to Dr. Fowler's "Three Nots", episode two discusses improving the current system to ensure excellent patient care and reducing the liability of the emergency care provider. Key Points: 1) Dr. Russi spoke about a life threats approach to determining whether your patient is in danger. By assuming that every complaint is something more serious, we can provide excellent patient care and ensure that every patient who need to be evaluated is evaluated. 2) Dr. Fowler brought up some key points that he refers to as "the three nots". These three things are things that the pre-hospital emergency care provider should never do. - Never imply that you know the patient's diagnosis. - Never imply that you know the diagnosis and offer insight as to the patient's condition - Never imply that the patient is safe to remain at the scene.
