Meridith invites Jose Rodriguez to discuss—and debunk—9 common Emergency Medical Dispatch misconceptions. In this episode, they cover:

5. Phone information from dispatchers cannot help victims and may even be dangerous.

6. More personnel and more units at the scene are always better.

7. It’s dangerous not to maximally respond or notto respond lights-and-siren.

8. Protocol and training is all that’s needed to“do EMD.”

9. We can do this stuff ourselves (home-grow our protocols).
