Performing outside of your scope of practice is the fastest way to a lawsuit and loss of your license. I don’t want to go to the station and fill out a bunch of forms. I have enough to fill out in the hospital already.

I’ll stay in my lane thank you very much. Like everything else that is on the patient, whether it’s clothes, phone, drugs, weapons, money, whatever, I will hand it to a nurse to put in a bag and lock it away for the gun shooty people to take care of while I do my job. It’ll all be on camera and nobody can blame me for tampering with anything.
