Question: Do you think that by and large we rise to the occasion when the stress of the situation is at it’s highest or when lives are on the line? Answer: No. We fall back to our experiences and training. The U.S. Military has done extensive research on this and while occasionally an individual or group of individuals perform great feats overcoming all odds this is not the norm. Gila River EMS believes it is important to set the standards and expectations high with regards to training as our community and patients expect it! |
