C. Since it just wants one and I would think the immediate safety of people involves moving it away and then tending to the patient.
Messing with the weapon, checking whether it’s empty, isn’t necessary and you’d still have to move it anyway
This is a Test

Good, you can work in the ER. Healthcare workers are not assumed to know every firearm and how to operate them, even though we are in America.

I had a girlfriend that was always studying 24/7 for her tests and never had time for me. One day she asked me to help her study and her entire exam was stuff like this, I kid you not. I realized she was too dumb for me and dumped her.

At least the correct answer is obvious instead of a test with vaguely-worded trick questions and ambiguous answers. Those are the tests that make me livid.

C is okay but why are we not allowed to put the safety on and safely remove all of the ammunition.
bluewing@lemm.ee 7 months ago
The general risk assessment is that medical personal don’t know as much about firearms as Law enforcement - and LEOs don’t know much. Besides, you generally have other things to do that are more important than causing a negligent discharge in the ER.

Triage is going to be a bit quicker today.
ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months ago
I’m confident that, maybe with 5min instructional time from a gun guy (or gal, women are the fastest growing group of gun owners today), anyone with a phd could be taught “push button, remove mag, rack slide” and “push button, swing cylinder, push ejector rod out.”
They really aren’t as hard to learn to use safely as Alec Baldwin would have you believe. Shooting accurately is another matter but simply being safe is as easy as learning 4 rules and a basic knowledge of how common firearms function.
FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 7 months ago
I don’t trust leaving it behind a desk counter or in a cabinet with bullets in it, personally, I feel like that’s the more dangerous option.
_lilith@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Medical staff arn’t trained with guns and they figure there’s less possibility of an accidental discharge the less people are touching it
FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 7 months ago
Oh I apologize, I kind of saw through the lense of an American so I assumed basic firearm knowledge. We have 15 guns per person so there really is no excuse not to know over here. With that in mind the possibility of discharge goes down because a gun with no ammo does not discharge.
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Couple reasons.
One: do you know anything about that model of firearm? Does it have a safety? Can it slam-fire if handled improperly?
Two: Is there important information that can be conveyed by the present condition of the firearm. Was it a shooting or an accident. Would clearing the firearm remove important information that can be used to ascertain what happened?
Three: Preserving the firearm can preserve evidence. While that is not necessarily part of the duty of medical staff, there’s no reason to risk destroying evidence if the firearm can be safely isolated with minimal disturbance.
Four: Why do it? An isolated, secure gun isn’t going to decide to start blasting people on its own. What advantage is there to handling the gun more than is necessary in that situation? Get it out of the way and keep working.
FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 7 months ago
You’re already assumed to be handling the gun from the onset, most handguns are pretty standard if they’re from this century.
Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 7 months ago
Most modern handguns do not have a (manually operated) safety.
“A” is the answer closest to “remove all of the ammunition”.
frickineh@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Considering that he got shot in the arm, not the face, my real life response would probably be, “really, man? You didn’t think you should give this to someone else before ems got there?” That’s why I’m not a doctor. Because I’m pretty dumb and bad at hiding my reactions. Also the part with all the blood.
Death_Equity@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I don’t mind the blood, but the unsaveable dying women and children plus the poop and infected smells is why I never went into medicine. Also my bedside manner is more House than Mr. Rodgers, so I would be sued so fast, like career ending speed run fast.

B.
Specifically at an oblique angle for maximum ricochet.cmac@lemmy.world 7 months ago
What’s actually the answer though? I would think A, D, C in that order is probably best, but I’m guessing they just want C?
dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 7 months ago
The most lawyer friendly answer is probably C.
I am not a doctor, but I do know how to handle firearms, so I would also unload and ensure that the gun is not in a condition to fire. This would probably dock me points for diluting potential evidence or some such horseshit, but it’d still be the right thing to do. Provided you knew what you were doing.
Glowstick@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Doing anything to the gun is probably a bad idea, even if you have experience with firearms. This gun came from a gang member, it could be in a very janky altered condition that makes it act unpredictably. If you were going to try to disarm it then you should still move it outside first before attempting that just in case it malfunction and fires while you’re trying to manipulate it
LockheedTheDragon@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Hospitals have security for a reason. You touching a gun when they have procedures on how to handle this situation is dangerous. If you are on staff you follow procedures. If you are just there and do know about gun safety you would know not to pick up that gun.
bstix@feddit.dk 7 months ago
It’s not difficult.
A is wrong because whoever wrote this is in no position to evaluate if the person reading it is is capable of “to check if the gun is loaded” without blowing their own head off.
D is wrong because the person whoever wrote this is in no position to evaluate if the person reading it is capable of “hold the gun personally without blowing their own head off.”
C is the only correct answer.
psycho_driver@lemmy.world 7 months ago
E is answer cause bitches be whack
mipadaitu@lemmy.world 7 months ago
A is additionally wrong because you don’t know the condition of the firearm. If it is not mechanically sound, manipulating it in any way could cause it to discharge in the worst case, or possibly jamming it in an unsafe condition. Best to let someone get it to a safer location before trying anything. There’s likely no especially safe direction to allow a firearm to discharge in a hospital, much less the ED.
cmac@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I agree that’s what they want you to answer, but you can’t move it to a safe location without handling it, so C necessarily entails D. Unless there’s a designated firearm handler in the ER you can call over, which to be fair, maybe there should be.
Lizardking27@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Lmao I would absolutely not trust some random Healthcare worker to both verify a handgun is unloaded, and safely hold onto it for any amount of time. The answer is clearly, obviously, and only C.
shalafi@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I wouldn’t trust a doctor to clear a weapon. It’s stupid easy, if you know what you’re doing.
ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months ago
Tbf if nobody in the room has experience handling them, it’d be better to tell a nurse to grab the security guard or something than to handle it at all.
That said, if there’s a possibility one may be in this situation they should take the 5 whole minutes to learn one day, as the actual safest option is to A) know what you’re doing and clear it or B) don’t even touch it until someone does clear it, though this could impact medical care or the speed with which it is delivered.
don@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Everyone here just straight up ignoring the fact that option B is completely correct.

C. I worked at a hospital and at the hospital I worked at they would have called Security to secure the gun. There may even be an off duty police officer on staff at the time of the incident.
taiyang@lemmy.world 7 months ago
B, but you actually use it to get attention and yell to everyone to “calm the fuck down and be cool.” Then safely and discretely dispose of the evidence to get in good with your local gang.
