With regard to reporting, he's the data guy. I'd say I'm the “bit more real” guy. We don't have time to fill out paperwork at work. Our guys are so tired and overtaxed by what they do every day, the last thing they want to do is fill out paperwork. Recently, the only time we've had people fill out paperwork is typically when they sought medical attention. I had two this weekend. People were assaulted and sought medical attention. Other than that, we have documentation. Our employer is fantastic. There are routes to do this. It is not heavily embedded in our culture.
I look at this situation like the five-minute mile. We don't think it's possible right now. With your help, we can run a five-minute mile. We need that first case. We need that first situation to happen. Someone will be held accountable, and that will spread like wildfire. Paramedics need a situation where they feel that decision-makers are taking their job seriously, protecting them and doing something to make their lives better at work.
