We’ve all seen ambulances racing down the road with sirens screaming and lights flashing. Some of us have been emergency patients inside them. Most of us, though, don’t know what goes on inside these vehicles. For the LNC working on an EMS-related case, this knowledge is a necessity.

Here to give us a detailed look inside the world of emergency medical services is Nancy Stuck, an emergency department nurse, and expert fact witness. Nancy has worked both in ambulance and rescue helicopter settings.

Multiple decisions are made about how to respond to an emergency: method of transport, level of support, and many other options. An LNC needs to evaluate the treatment decisions that begin with the 911 call. Unfortunately, accidents can also occur within the ambulance or helicopter, sometimes to the emergency personnel themselves. LNCs can find themselves evaluating these situations as well.

In that context, it’s also important to understand the high level of stress under which emergency personnel operate. When they are called to situations of domestic violence, they may witness killings. They can experience remorse, guilt, and grief when one of their patients dies despite their best efforts.

The world of emergency medical services is both dramatic and traumatic. Don’t miss this insider’s look.
