Follow-up of this amazing, beautiful suggestion as part of a series of requests from a union of paramedics who mainly enjoy and play as paramedics, seeking better gameplay as the most important profession of PERP.
Description of the idea:
(1) All paramedics involved in reviving someone receive the same monetary compensation ($500). This means that if Paramedic A is the fastest and gives the first shock to an unconscious victim which is not enough to revive him, but while Paramedic A is charging his defibrillators, Paramedic B comes by and shocks the victim a second time effectively reviving him, they will both get $500 as both gave a shock to revive the person, instead of only the person who gave the reviving shock getting $500.
(2) All paramedics receive monetary compensation ($250) whenever another paramedic disposes of a body, the exact same way police receive money from another one confiscating weapons or narcotics (originally another idea but modified with this better option suggested by @LilChicken).
Why should this be added? (pros):
+ A more fair and professional paramedic relationship. If you've ever played paramedic for more than 2 minutes you know some paramedics time their shocks specifically waiting to give the 3rd shock which is what revives most people to get $500, even if the other paramedic got first on scene and gave the first two shocks only to receive 0$ because someone else was waiting for that 3rd shock like a vulture. Besides, even if this were to happen by pure luck, there's no reason a medic who got to a victim first and gave the first shock should not be compensated for his efficient work. Likewise, there is no reason a medic who got there afterwards but still avoided potential death by shocking along the first medic on scene should not be compensated for his efficient work.
+ Again, more fair and professional job because some people like to be vultures. You can drag a corpse for 2 minutes only for another paramedic to be waiting next to the ambulance ready to use body disposal faster than the one who actually did the job dragging the body can.
+ Overall a huge quality of life improvement to paramedics.
What negatives could this have? (cons): [list of all bad aspects]
