TokenBoomerThis is a Test
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 🐧🗡️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.
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
…And get it pointed at something that can catch a pistol round.
(Though tbf, while pointing a safe direction is always imperative, I’ve yet to see a gun fire from having the mag dropped or the slide racked, or the cylinder swung out, and I’m very experienced with firearms. Typically when a gun “just goes off” it was because they “just ‘accidentally’ touched the trigger.”)
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.
It’s not difficult.
A is wrong because whoever wrote this is in no position to evaluate if the person reading it 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.
E is answer cause bitches be whack
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.
If you are at a hospital in the hood they probably have armed security. The ones in the city nearest me certainly do. One would hope they know how to safely handle a firearm as well as have some manner of secure storage someplace, so that’d probably be their department. At least until the cops inevitably get involved.
You’re being too pedantic about wording. The right answer is to make it most safe while minimizing the chance of it accidentally firing. Simply moving it to a locked room down the hallway is the best way to achieve that.
Unless you pass by a “good person with a gun” seeing you with a gun and killing you because you’re carrying a gun on the way.
The only answer is to leave the gun where it is without touching it, exit the room with the patient, lock the door from outside, leave the building yourself, light a cigarette, forget about whatever the problem was, go home, because they aren’t paying you enough to get shot on your job
because they aren’t paying you enough to get shot on your job
If you’re a surgeon, they might be
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.
I wouldn’t trust a doctor to clear a weapon. It’s stupid easy, if you know what you’re doing.
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.
B is the correct answer.
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.
I vote for E
SzethFriendOfNimiC. 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
That’s not what Dr Dre would do, fool
Shit. Looks like we forgot about him again.
HE SPECIFICALLY TOLD US NOT TO DO THAT…

Edit: I think he was telling us specifically to fuck off now, in the future, after we forgot about him

Forget about Dre. What would Cube do?
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.
So… If it wanted more than one what would you select?
E twice.
Boo yea!
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.
Lmaooo what was she studying?
gimpchrist If Grey’s Anatomy has taught anything its D, but then B.
If House has taught me anything, it’s D, but then E.
In grey’s, E is the side plot lol
Insufficient information. Need to know the physician’s gang affiliation.
Does the patient look like a bitch?
WeirdGoesProUnconscious and pathetic on a hospital bed? Yeah, kinda. /s
NielsBohronW-w-what?
Bahnd RollardENGLISH! MOTHERF#$KER, DO YOU SPEAK IT!
[Said Mr. Jackson using his inside voice]
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.
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.
You’ve never done a desk pop
Depends. If the patient lives, it’s D. If he dies, you need to revenge him, so E
theneverfoxExactly. No one wants a doctor who won’t fight for their patients
But as a student, you should have humility and assume you’re going to fuck up and kill your patient, that’s the trap
E. Final answer
Dr. CoomerOn the one hand, c seems logical. But on the other hand, e is tempting…
donEveryone here just straight up ignoring the fact that option B is completely correct.
100%. Need to get the bullets out the gun
problematicPantherEject the magazine and then pull back the slide to eject anything in the chamber.
Instructions unclear. Revolver went off half-cocked.
It’s a trick question, you fire the bullets into the patient to increase revenue
It’s a free gun without a paper trail, why would you not tuck that shit. You do homie a favor and you get a nice drop piece to fold some clothes later.
PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S [he/him]E followed by B obviously
Is this multiple choice or just a suggested series of steps?
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.
“Be cool honey bunny.”
I was expecting one of the answers to be blatantly racist. It’s like this test doesn’t even want to prepare students for real life.
C is okay but why are we not allowed to put the safety on and safely remove all of the ammunition.
_lilithMedical staff arn’t trained with guns and they figure there’s less possibility of an accidental discharge the less people are touching it
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.
We have 15 guns per person
And this is why statistics classes are important. Only 30% of US adults own guns. So at 15 guns per person, that means most of those people own a fuckton of guns. I’d hazard a guess to say most of those people are not in the medical field.
Most American adults do not own a gun, probably have never fired a gun, and their only training is from video games.
