  • Summary

  • Back in EMT class there was one page in the textbook that covered legal issues in pre-hospital medicine. Our world is increasingly more complicated and as a result, one page just doesn't cover it anymore. In this podcast, Sam and Nick discuss important, relevant and modern aspects of EMS law that may have been overlooked in class.

    Oct 19 2021
    On 8/22/2021, a Colorado grand jury handed down a 32-count criminal indictment against the police officers and EMS personnel involved in the incident that led to Elijah McClain’s death. On this episode of the Standard of Care, Nick and Samantha try to untangle what these indictments could mean for the EMS community. We reach out to our resident experts - former prosecutor (now business lawyer) Chris Timmons and defense attorney (and Samantha’s law school classmate) Stephen Coxen – for answers. How do prosecutors even decide to file charges in a case like this? How does a grand jury work? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the prosecution’s case, and how does a criminal defense attorney defend a client against these charges? What can EMTs and paramedics do to protect themselves from potential criminal liability? Please like, comment, and subscribe!

We examine “crisis standards of care” and what those words mean for EMS. What are crisis standards of care? Who declares that they are in effect? What impact do crisis standards have on EMS providers’ legal obligations to patients? What is the ethical thing to do in a situation where resources are limited, and how should those decisions be made? Please like, comment, and subscribe!
