How EMS providers, agencies, should handle sexual assault charges

Above is an article a friend recommended to me. As a volunteer firefighter and currently an EMT in training soon to be working at an ambulance transport service, it is appalling that this is something that not only myself and other first responders have to worry about, but that this even happens in the first place.

I can totally see this happening to first responders and if ruining their lives. Luckily I learned in class that there are protections for us, as addressed in the article as well, such as cameras being mounted in Ambulances. Being a male, this is something that is concerning to me, the fact that at any moment while I’m treating a patient that they could just turn on me like that scares me tremendously. It’s sad that I even have to keep it in the back of my mind, false accusations are nothing to fuck with.
