Server Suggestion Specialist Paramedics see time on pulse

[northnortheast]

Suggestion Title: Specialist Paramedics see time on pulse
Suggestion Description: Specialist Paramedics and above, when checking a pulse, see a more accurate value of that patient's time left.

This can be scaled with an uncertainty value that decreases as the ranks increase. For example, if a patient has 0:37 seconds left before they die:

An Advanced Paramedic checking their pulse will see: 'John Doe has a weak pulse'
A Specialist Paramedic checking their pulse will see: 'John Doe has a weak pulse (~0:40)'
and a Paramedic Practitioner checking their pulse will see 'John Doe has a weak pulse (0:37)'

Why should this be added?:
An extra bonus to higher paramedic ranks, as right now you only really get increased defib speed and slightly increased DNA as a tool. This makes sense as those more-experienced staff would be able to more accurately gauge the strength of a person's pulse. This feature would also encourage these higher ranks to take command on scenes by triaging bodies more effectively and assigning other paramedics to critical patients.

What negatives could this have?:
Not sure.

possible lag or more coding as negative but idk

Whilst I think the idea is great, I don't see the benefit. The only reason I say that is because if a medic is on scene taking their pulse then the medic should be already attempting to revive them.
I think the idea would be better suited to possibly Senior officers or above so they can see the pulses and let EMS know?

How does that make sense? Officers are officers, they arrest people/kill them. Not trained for EMS duties, although there's ems and they are trained for EMS duties so what would be the point on letting cops know instead of paramedics?

And this is a good idea because the medics can coordinate, the highest rank medic takes care of the one with the lowest pulse whilst the paramedic takes care of the highest

The reason I say that is because 99% of the time, officers are the first on scene, shootout, robbery, mugging, raid etc.. If they're first on scene, they should be the ones who see the pulse so they can advise EMS

you make a fair point but cops aren't trained for EMS duty?..

No this is true and there definitely needs to be some kind of benefit for higher level EMS that goes beyond a quicker DNA & revive, perhaps the pulse could work but they'd have to be response and not in the ambulance I guess

I'm pretty sure that if you're a paramedic practitioner or smth like you get an Audi RS4

Cops are trained for basic stuff like that at least most are. I doubt most cops don't know how to take a pulse.

literally proving my point

At that point, why not give cops defibrillators and first aid kits and cut out the medics entirely lol?

I'm not quite sure I'm following what you're suggesting - you want to leave paramedics with the normal pulse checking (because obviously paramedics NEVER check pulses...) and instead give the basic-life-support trained officers the advanced pulse checking? I feel like you might benefit from playing paramedic more and realise how important actual triage is, unless we're assigning an officer to be partnered with every single EMS worker.

literally what I said but better

 

[Alexis Rodrigez]

its a relatively good idea, but usually you can estimate how much time they have left anyway, after a while i just know.

Sure why not
