Hello everyone,

Question, you have the same scenario ( below) and your the EMT in the

back, what would you do?

What would your medical control let you do, and how would you encounter

this issue with the intent of beign safe for you, and an advocate of your

patient. I don't remember if I that this patient at autism, if so, would you

treat your patient differentially?

I am interested in the different answers....thanks!
