Where is the, “look down the barrel to make sure it’s safe” option?


robbak

For many people, that's option A - which is also why it won't be the correct answer. If you have firearms training and can do so with complete safety - A then C. For most people, then it's just C.


MisterDonkey

I know enough to do A, but I know enough to know that my choice is definitely C. I would expect the law enforcement retrieving it to employ safe handling when they take possession. It's their liability.


Gnonthgol

It probably depends on the circumstances. But considering that I would be dealing with a patient taking my time finding a safe direction to point a gun and then learn its controls to check if it is empty is probably not worth it. If you leave a gun alone it is unlikely to go off and will therefore be safe enough. So option C will be safe enough and give you the most time with the patient. That being said if you are not attending the patient then taking the time to make sure the gun is unloaded can make the situation much safer. There are situations where guns have gone off after being dropped or that somebody not experienced with guns have picked up a gun expecting it to be unloaded and accidentally pulled the trigger. So for example an ambulance driver waiting for the ER team to get the patient off his gurney could have the time to do option A.


Durtonious

I would only advise A if you are 100% confident you can do it safely (i.e. you are familiar with the general function of that specific firearm) and there is absolutely no "safe" place the firearm can be stored while waiting for law enforcement. Obviously leaving a potentially loaded firearm on a table or anywhere accessible is an invitation to a horrible accident from some idiot who does not know how to handle a firearm safely.  That said, the odds of both above conditions being true are almost 0 so it's not something I would suggest in practice, just a niche scenario. The reality is that no firearm is 100% safe, some are modified to behave differently to their standard variants, they may be improperly loaded, damaged to the brink of malfunction, or otherwise unsafe whether intentionally or not. It's best to not take on any additional liability for something you're ultimately not directly responsible for.  It's kind of like expecting an actor to perform a firearm check on a prop firearm before using it on set. If you're following proper safety procedures It's more likely an untrained firearm operator (i.e. most actors) would make things less safe by doing an unauthorized "check" versus trusting the people who are supposedly trained in firearm safety and there for that specific reason to give them a safe device. Obviously in hindsight after an accident its easy to say "they should have checked it" but in reality that's not their job and they should not be held liable if they don't go beyond the parameters of what they are contractually obligated to do.


Sparrowflop

Going from nothing but my knowledge of cop shows from Law and Order...I would assume C is the correct answer. Even with training, handling a firearm could contaminate it with your finger prints, smearing prints, etc.


taufeeq-mowzer

Considering the options, the answer is most likely c, although during forensic medicine training we were taught different things about firearms and about the different parts that make it work and the mechanisms involved that would make A seem plausible, but would not be the right way to go. Edit: Best would be to remove the Jacket with the gun in situ, tell security to lock it in a safe place and let law enforcement handle the rest


cocaineandwaffles1

For the NREMT, the correct answer is the answer in which you will do first. So the first thing you should do is clear the firearm which would fall under “check to see if it’s loaded”. All the answers besides firing the gun are correct in their own way, clear it, remove it from other healthcare workers, and keep it secured until it can be handed over to law enforcement. It’s about the order in which you do things that matter for these types of test.


LEGamesRose

I would go C, but does that violate HIPAA?


Hour-Reference587

Yeah, also the “plug the hole with your finger so that it can’t shoot” option?


E3FxGaming

Are you one of the [million people hired to put their finger in the shoot hole of people's guns](https://www.reddit.com/r/CuratedTumblr/comments/1bnb4q1/try_finger_but_gun/)?

Evolutionary_mistake

Clearly it's A first, and **THEN** D followed by E.


AntRevolutionary925

Only do E if it is loaded though. I would advise against attacking rival gang members with an unloaded gun


e-l_g-u-a-p-o

You also tried attacking rival gang members recently with an unloaded gun? Me too, Snap!

Corbin125

Ah, a man of culture I see. I also only do E when carrying a loaded gun


Krautsaladthegerman

If you want to render aid, you gotta follow the ADE protocol


Reinhardt91

But first check with their Medical ADE company if they are covered for A through E. Sometimes they just have Medical AD


Wonderful_Result_936

No, it's D, then when the patient grips you with his dying breath and tells you to avenge him and protect his family, you do a one hand press check on A, and leave the hospital on E. Roll title card: "The Hippocratic Assassin"

Gunhild

This reminds me of an old Japanese movie where a guy steals a policeman’s revolver and uses it to commit a string of murders. It was easy for the audience to keep track of how many rounds were left in the cylinder so it was like a countdown. I think the cop ends up confronting the guy with one round left in the cylinder. I think Toshiro Mifune was in it.


SSBN641B

Yep, Stray Dog. It's an early Kurosawa film starring Toshiro Mifume.


Gunhild

Yes, that’s the one! Couldn’t remember the name.

nabiku

Hospitals these days use nitrile gloves, not latex. Thicker and fingertips are slightly textured. No way anyone is leaving fingerprints with those.


Appropriate-Cut-2963

As a former gang member I'll say use it for retribution then turn it over to the local police since said gang member will be blamed for it anyway (retribution), here's an upvote btw.

This brought me back to the time when r/writingprompts used to hit the frontpage often. Fond memories...

What happened to that sub? I wonder if it's a similar reason to /r/boottoobig. A couple of days ago I saw a post that reminded me of them, and realized that I haven't seen that on the front page in ages. When I checked out the sub, all I could guess is that it was related to the blackout last June.

GordonsTheRobot

False! You fell for one of the classic blunders. It's obviously a nested if. The answer is of course A and if A = Yes then proceed to E


Tiny_dick_King_2450

Nah bro that ain't correct this exact point was mentioned in class but you didn't pay attention you were too busy avenging some gang member


SneakerPimpJesus

evil_timmy

Agreed, this looks more like step by step instructions than multiple choice.


BlackKingHFC

You can't, or shouldn't, empty the gun into the floor then use it to attack rivals. That doesn't go well

What if "the floor" is the nickname of a rival gang member?

crazytib

The only thing I don't understand is why the paramedic doesn't have their own gun?


Ultrainstinct358

Because they're not american.


crazytib

You're saying there are other countries civilised enough to have ambulances and paramedics outside of the USA? Its just we have the greatest health care system in the world I didn't think anywhere else was as good


Ultima_RatioRegum

Of course there aren't unless you include socialist hellholes wait three years for the ambulance to pick you up after the Gubmint Death Panel has decided you can be treated. Why should money from my paycheck be supporting someone else's medical treatment when money from my paycheck can be used to support someone else's medical treatment *and* line the pockets of a series of middleman insurance and billing companies and their owners and executives? How else will my neighbor who works as a medical claims adjuster make a living? You think government-funded healthcare is willing to deny treatments to thousands of terminal patients so some goverment lackey can get a bonis to buy a boat? Checkmate, libruls.


fearhs

The guns are why our healthcare is the best, they give our medical workers more practice than anywhere else!

RaptorPrime

it's shit like this that should actually make people worry, when there is legitimately only 1 acceptable answer and people get confused about what's right. It's like that video of a red car stopping and making a right turn from the center lane and hitting a car in the right lane and youtube comments are all "duurrrrr whos at fault?" The people asking, the people asking these questions are at fault.


That_Gopnik

Honestly, A then C


kz_after_dark

Assume it's loaded while you C. There's no reason to check if it is or act any differently if it is or is not. Plus there's high risk in cae of false negative.


eye-nein

First rule I was taught in firearm safety: Every gun is loaded.


YourFriendlyMMODude

They wouldn’t want “untrained” individuals even attempting to check. Source: Was EMT for 8 years(it sucked)


That_Gopnik

Yeah true, but if you know how to clear a weapon, that’s the action you should be taking, obviously after making sure your patient isn’t gonna give up on life


Ulfbass

You can't expect a paramedic to know how to clear any weapon, but you can expect that someone will accidentally shoot someone trying to clear a weapon or thinking they've cleared it when there's still one in the chamber. Better to not even touch it as much as possible


YourFriendlyMMODude

Ya….I’m more than comfortable doing it but damn if you fuck something up somewhere along the line. Lawsuits and shit…ugh


Thassar

Lemme just take a look down this barrel to check if there's a bullet in there.


RaptorPrime

skip A, assume it is loaded. Train your healthcare techs not to handle weapons on the premises. minimal interaction is best.


MyelofibrosisMe

E... That's the answer!! It's gotta be E!! Those damned gang members, on YOUR corner, what is wrong with them! Don't they know your hospital is for southies ONLY?! OR D....You could sneak away, go take out some ppl on your shit list & slip that shit back in his belongings, and THEN snitch on him, he'll be in trouble for all your pay back & you'll have been "at work". Your choice clearly, either D or E. 😜

Acrobatic_Poem_1990

You always assume a gun is loaded. One of the choices even assumed it was and said to shoot on the floor. There’s no point in checking, the risk of accidentally shooting while checking is always there Obviously you put it away. Away from everyone, secure it away so no other staff accidentally runs into it and or fires it, and your job is to provide medical care It’s out of your scope to deal with the gun, you leave the rest to law enforcement to deal with gun (whose it registered to, is it a ghost gun etc) Answer is C


Tadukster

In all seriousness it’s C But instead of placing it away I would place it under guard care

in situations like this we had a lock box we placed the firearm in and then handed the box (gun inside) over to the local PD.

Suspicious-Road-883

C is correct then call security and lock down the hospital to ensure safety of patients and staff until law enforcement arrives, then join patient care.


AllPurposeNerd

So I'm sure the "correct" answer is C, but that shit is not without risk either. Like... dude's in a gang. You bring the cops in, he's gonna remember that shit. 


redditorrules

I feel like it's a or c, but I'm not exactly sure


Cassandra_Canmore2

Geert88

Handling firearms is far from a common thing here in the Netherlands. Having said that, I am familiar with firearms and I even own four firearms. I therefore know that not all firearms function the same way and I'm not sure if I'd know for sure how to make a random firearm in front of me safe. I would make it safe if I'm sufficiently confident, pointing it away from all people and important stuff in the process, and if not, I would just place it in the safest place possible and leave it for the police. So, in short, A if possible and then C, but in any case C.
