"show me your friends and I will show you your future."  It is important to surround yourself with those people that speak life into you.

Making sure we use a clear head, following our training and also putting ourselves in our peers shoes will help use make ethical decisions, especially if you have peers that make good choices often.

I believe we should always do the right thing from preforming proper medical care no matter the person to acting in the right manner even when no one is watching. you never know who or what is watching and we should act as we want others to act to our family.

As EMRs I believe Ethics are paramount, we could be walking in to someone's worst day ever and how we carry ourselves, and the choices we make could very well be the difference between life and death for someone's loved one.

We are all responsible to make sure we do the "right" thing and no matter what we do, or think is right we will never be able to control what someone else thinks but as long as we stick to our training and keep a calm and collected approach i think we should all be able to do the "right" thing that is asked of us.

Ethics is everything, how you act around people and present yourself to others. There are some people who aren't so great with ethics and others who can be very professional, calm and collective, likable people.

There’s always someone that thinks they know better than you do. The heckler of your work. Just remember there are always eyes on. Where you would least likely to think someone would be watching is probably right where they are. In other words if you do your very best to do no harm and you treat others the way you would want to be treated. Then I believe you will be just fine!

Ethics seem something I would hope to not have difficulty with, but when reading through the other entries I question, how would I react if I have to really reign in my own opinions on certain individuals. If there was a child who had been abused and the abuser had been hurt… how to keep the professional appearance and body language in that situation might be tricky. My opinion doesn’t matter, the care of a human is what needs to be done. Regardless of my personal feelings about that person. Or another way it could be challenged, being a small community that I will be serving in, if I know the person I’ve arrived to help has very strong opinions about me or my family in a negative manner. How to keep ethics at the forefront if the patient is trying to cause that to break. Some people are hateful and we need to rise above it and do the job we agreed to do, in a manner of which we are trained. And if we cannot, know to “tap out” and ask someone who is as well trained or higher to take over.

Having ethics and morals are good. It is what makes us human. Following the rules and doing what you can to be true to your own personal ethics and morals are important. Also, following the rules and policies of jobs or agencies you work with is very important. You definitely want to keep in mind the choices you are making and how that can effect your personal and work life.

Being an EMR you will walk into situations that could be dangerous or even life changing for someone. So by saying that you have to have respect or support for what they might be going through but also looking professional as that helps keep the situation calm and under control.

I remember being taught about ethics in basic training, sitting in the back of the lecture thinking i am well aware of how this works. I went to church regularly as a young man, and seen my self as a fairly morally intact person. they then taught us about A1C William H Pitsenbarger who gave his life to save nine others in Vietnam. He volunteered to stay and tend to the wounded and retrieve supplies for the remaining defenders. Nothing but A1C Pitsenbarger's moral code of ethics made him stay in an active fire fight. After that lecture concluded it made me think long and hard about if i cloud do that for others.

until we get out into the field, we can do all the hypotheticals, but it will be very different outside of class. As EMR's our best friend will be dept. and med control policy and procedures. there will probably be a lot of situations we don't like, but as long as we follow those, we know we did what we needed to. at least in most situations.

# data[].attributes.body
It’s easy to say, “Do no harm.”, or “Save the life.”, it’s another thing to be faced with a patient that ethically or morally delineates from societal norms. Especially, in the situation where we are called to aid patients who have just committed a crime or in our day and age where an individual has just harmed children or innocent civilians. All of a sudden our commitment to “doing no harm” is challenged on all levels.

If we look at this situation from a distance it certainly appears black and white, but upon closer inspection the differentiation between the light and dark becomes grayed and nuanced. If we as public servants have not worked through our own known and unknown biases we wade into uncharted waters where our ethics and morals maybe questioned.

# data[].attributes.body
Not only do we as EMR’s have an ethical responsibility while on scene, but we also have an ethical responsibility beyond the scene by continuing our education. In order to provide the best care for our patients, it’s imperative that we are up to date on our training. When arriving on scene, the patient expects that we have the current knowledge and skills to do our jobs properly.

Ethics are very important for EMR's, you should always follow the golden rule, treat others how you want to be treated. Follow your departments policies and procedures to remain as professional as you can.

# data[].attributes.body
Moral principals of an EMR's behavior. We must stay true to policy and procedures AT ALL TIMES! Do what's right and follow the golden rule... You know, the stuff we learned in grade school. haha

# data[].attributes.body
Doing the right thing comes down to thinking about your training, policy and procedures and carrying those out to the best of your ability. Make sure you review EMR training procedure at the national, state and local level. If you have a question make sure you ask clarifying questions and make the right choice. Put yourself in your peers shoes and ask yourself, would they do the same thing?

Ethics in EMS is quite simple. Treat others how you want to be treated! Ethics can mean a spectrum of things including not being discriminatory for any reason, having integrity among patients and peers. The way we carry ourselves is important part of being professional and to treat everyone with the utmost respect.

Being ethical on the job is as simple as treating every patient with the same level of care. It is not ethical to withhold care or be disrespectful to a patient due to race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc. We as EMS responders must withhold our own personal feelings about any given subject and give patients the same care across the board, that we would want if we were the patient, our family members, etc.

Being an EMR means you need to have sound ethics and morals. How we conduct ourselves in the field shows tremendously to the patients of who is taking care of them. We have a lot of weight riding on our shoulders and though ethics and morals can sometimes be debatable depending on your background and culture, we need to have a pretty good understanding of what is ethically right and how to conduct ourselves.
