ATV MVA. Two people, one "patient". The rangers called us for one of them. The other denied injury. Pt 1 c/o wrist pain and nausea. I am a dolt and decided that pt 2 didn't need to sign a refusal because the rangers never called for him, just pt 1. Right? Wrong.
I was being a dumbass. Of course he has to sign a refusal. He was involved in the MVA. It is the same as if it was a 2 car MVA. Everyone involved gets paperwork.
The other EMT knew I was being a dummy and said nothing, instead got pissed at me. It was eventually cleared up, but dang I am not happy with myself.
As a result, I am realizing I am so not prepared for my new position as captain. The next few months are going to be rough. I am feeling completely and totally overwhelmed right now.

It happens to the best of us. What makes the difference is you admit that you were wrong and will learn from this, you are not trying to blame everyone else or brush it off. Don't let it get you down!
