EPISODE 107
Should cops transport wounded officers to the hospital in a police car, or wait for an ambulance?
“It depends.” We explore the risks and benefits of a hasty transport instead of waiting for the medical professionals trained for this sort of thing. There are risks and benefits to this practice but it can be a life saving decision. Learn key considerations and other ways you can compress the timeline to definitive trauma care.
