@freemo I should clarify a bit too.

When I’m out as an EMT it’s a relatively bright line. If they’re competent (alert and oriented, not a threat to themselves or others, over 18) they get to refuse medical attention. We might try to convince them but at the end of the day they get to choose.

There are calls where that feels crappy but at least we have a decision making framework to fall back on.
