provider safety is one topic not well covered. Watch this video and see how fast an attacker can strike. Do you know what to do, do you have a backup plan, what is your emergency systems signal to notify higher to send help or alert your partner? Be safe and be educated.

As we practice emergency medicine, we need to also improve or emergency response training. A mass casualty incident can happen at any time as demonstrated in Korea on an already busy night for most places, Halloween. Are you prepared or is your agency prepared for a mass casualty incident?

Scene safety is 24/7. Everybody on the scene needs to ensure they take their time, watch out for others and not try to rush and create an accident like this one. No provider should be crushed when working a call by another responding provider. This is a horrible accident and 100% preventable. Be safe and be alert.
