Theres combative as in, "Im gonna kick your ass" and theres combative as in, "Hey, this dude has a head injury". two totally different scenarios. One thing i make sure our new, and old, medics know is that we dont have the luxury of being able to call 911. We're it, there is noone else to call. we can call for manpower but we dont just fold our arms acrossed our chest and say, "Im not touching him until he calms down." Guess what, when this guy calms down, its because hes dead. From this story, it seems that the female medic just waits until patients pass out before she 'treats' them. IMO, if youre uncomfortable dealing with (medically) combative patients, you need to seek another form of employment.
